#DESIGNSPARK MECHANICAL VS FREECAD SOFTWARE#
LuBan - postprocessor (cut a big stl into smaller chunks with said in What CAD software you said in What CAD software you use?:.I'll add here so there are in the top post, for the reference, the mentioned tools: so not some powerful graphics station but. Now kids have a 10" tablet (rather powerful 8 cores 8G ram. 3dslash, looks promising, we'll see in few weeks.sketchup, tried, kids don't like it too much.It is also the most powerful mesh optimisation tool I ever tried, I get with it way better results than with meshlab and similar tools. This small powerfull app can import, edit and export STL! It has a very powerful scripting language (you write your script basically in Java) that allow you to create a whole bunch of stuff, and a lot of script already exist (I still use the script to create involute gears, racks, pinions, normal and harringbone made by Forrest 10+ years ago). I was introduced to it by a colleague from RepRap team (Forrest Higgs) back in the day. It has a steep learning curve but I'v seen stuff ppl make with it and it is very capable, you just need to invest in learning it - I never didĪrt of Illusion, this is a small java modeling app that looks ugly and incapable but is actually very powerful.

I have not tried it for maybe a year and today I downloaded latest version and spent 4-5 hours with it and WOW this works!!!!īlender, blender is very powerful tool that I never learned how to use.
it was always super slow, very buggy and was just not getting job done. I mostly used it to convert STL to "solid" so that I can edit it then in onshape or f360 or. I see on my computer some files I made with dates in 2010 so at least 10 years, I love it, I will always use it for certain type of partsįreeCAD, I'm dancing around FreeCAD for many years, downloading, trying, giving up, downloading, trying, giving up.
OpenSCAD, I feel like I'm using openscad "forever". it's what most 3d printing nerds are using these days transition from onShape/SolidWorks was easy.

I heard from few ppl that they were unable to get free account at all recently but mine still works.įusion 360, I'm using mostly these days. IIRC they removed this option to have a private project recently. It is not very cheap but offered a free version with single private project and all other projects "visible to any onshape user". but whatever the reason I don't use it for new products). OnShape, I really liked, and used for a while, and don't remember why I stopped (There was some issue with licences/terms and conditions, I don't remember, maybe it was some FUD I succumbed to.
I used, for ages, solidWorks + solidCAM but since I'm not using "cured" software and can't explain the $$$ for solidWorks licence I'm chasing other solutions that are free. After discussion about CAM tools we (well, me, again ) digressed to talk about CAD tools and since I'm checking out these days for some useful cad tool for my 6.5yo (and maybe also a 3yo) some discussion might help me out find stuff I never knew existed
