Faulty Equipment | Hobby CAD shootout

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!

    Solid Edge is available for free for non-commercial use to everyone, I’m almost done writing its article and it looks really good tbh!

    Never heard of ZW3D, sadly the pricing seem a bit steep for what I’m looking for :S

      Do write a bit on synchronous modeling.

          Looks good to me.

          You can use Lemmy as your comment section. Would like to see you try out more CAD software, since this place really needs original content to grow.

            Oh that’s a neat idea, I was exploring comment systems but the ones that inspired me (like Cactus Comments which is based on Matrix) I had trouble getting to work. I’ll try setting it up when I get more time!
