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!

    I mean do your really need the latest fluid stimulation just to block out a model for printing?

      No I dont need flow simulation at all, basic features in 15 years old SW are enough for almost everything I need.

      Well I think learning SW was a big mistake and I blame my uni for that 🤣

        I mean theres a reason why the conpanies target University. Why microsoft partners and gives codes to their products, or adobe to art students.

        They train you in their software so youre less inclined to use anything else when youre out of school.
