Exploring the available CAD software
Exploring the available CAD software
A collection of quick reviews of CAD software for the hobbyist. Features free and/or accessible options such as Onshape, FreeCAD and Fusion 360
Hey there! As a 3D printer addict I do a lot of small parts in CAD to print and use around the house. Lately I've been exploring all sorts of CAD software since finding out there's a more around than just Fusion360 and Onshape so I started exploring what's out there and jotting down my impressions.
Hope this is not spam, just want to help people see what's around and help them pick!
You're viewing a single thread.
Others you may want to try are OpenSCAD and BRL-CAD.
I will probably explore scripting based CAD in a different style since there's different breeds and they don't really fit the format. One I found out recently which seems very interesting is build123d which comes with more features out of the box (like fillets etc), a VSCode extension for live preview and generally I'd rather write Python than OpenSCAD
I exclusively use openscad. I can treat a project like software, with git and make.
