Powerful enough for
any toy idea.

ToyCAD combines freeform shaping with engineering concepts — so students can make anything from simple characters to interlocking parts.

Interlocking Parts

Students engineer pieces that snap and fit together — a hands-on introduction to tolerances and assembly.

Articulated Toys

Movable joints bring creations to life — students learn how hinges and connections work through play.

Snap-Fit Toys

Students design parts with snap-fit joints that click together — a hands-on introduction to tolerances and mechanical connections.

Character toys

Character Toys

From animals to superheroes — students design the characters they care about, making engagement immediate and personal.
