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
