I've been using the free SketchUp (now SketchupMake) for many years, and it seems that no longer exists. I think it's been replaced with a new web-only free version. I found it to be pretty nice for simple woodworking and home projects, with a rather intuitive interface. My use was so casual and infrequent that I never really considered the paid version.
Is there a good alternative (free or reasonably priced paid) for very simple and casual 3D modeling?
- chabes 6y agoTinkercad is free. It’s even simpler than sketchup. Might be what you’re looking for. https://tinkercad.com/ https://tinkercad.com/
- ab_testing 6y agoTinkerCad is owned by AutoDesk. So I would not be surprised if it ends up in a similar situation as Sketchup. If you want a totally free product that is also open source - your 2 options are 1. Freecad https://www.freecadweb.org/ https://www.freecadweb.org/ 2. Blender https://www.blender.org/ https://www.blender.org/
- avhon1 6y agoI've found Solvespace to be a very nice OSS alternative to Sketchup for 3D printing. Perhaps it's good for woodworking, too. http://solvespace.com/index.pl http://solvespace.com/index.pl Here's a good tutorial: https://www.farwire.net/SolveSpace-LearningGuide.htm https://www.farwire.net/SolveSpace-LearningGuide.htm
