The Easiest Way to Design, Simulate & 3D Print Your Own Robots
RoboCAD is an upcoming robotics design app that will let anyone ages 9+ design their own robots and machines, simulate how they move, and 3D print functional parts to bring them to life. No complicated CAD, coding, or electronics experience needed.

From Idea to Real Robot in 3 Simple Steps
Design
Use RoboCAD's simple tools to build your robot's structure. Add gears, joints, motors, wheels, and linkages.
Simulate
Test and visualize motion digitally to see how your creation will move and function.
Build
Export to STL/3MF, 3D print your design, assemble it, and explore real robotic motion.
Designed So a 9-Year-Old Can Use It
Traditional CAD tools overwhelm beginners with complex controls and steep learning curves. RoboCAD strips all of that away with a visual, intuitive interface designed for first-time makers. Less time learning menus, more time building robots.
Test Your Robot's Motion Before You Print a Single Part
RoboCAD's built-in motion simulation lets you watch your creation move digitally. See how gears mesh, how linkages flex, and how your walker actually walks. Experiment freely, iterate fast, and save materials by getting it right on screen first.
Go From Idea to Real Robot
Design your robot, simulate its motion, then export print-ready STL or 3MF files straight to your 3D printer. It's the same design-simulate-build workflow used by professional engineers, now accessible to kids, families, and makers everywhere.
From the Creators of ToyCAD
We built ToyCAD to make 3D design accessible to beginners. Now we're bringing that same philosophy to robotics.
Imagine → Design → 3D Print toys
Design → Simulate → 3D Print → Build robots
ToyCAD Testimonials
RoboCAD is being created by the team behind ToyCAD, where thousands of young creators are already designing and 3D printing their own ideas.
