I'm not talking about OpenSCAD though. Try OnShape/Fusion360/Solidworks, FreeCAD is much less usable and featureful than those.

- bambax 6y agoDo you actually use any of those? Solidworks is the standard, but the price is crazy (from $5k to $10k per user per year). The online tools I tried I found to be much less usable than FreeCAD. But I only design simple pieces, so my needs are easy to meet. It's possible that for complex parts FreeCAD is too limited.
- dcminter 6y agoFor simple parts for someone willing to use online tools TinkerCad has a much easier learning curve and is far less buggy. Unless you need parametric design, want a GUI, and won't use closed source, FreeCAD is not a good choice.
- bambax 6y agoI don't trust online tools to still be there in the future. They can be taken offline at any time. FreeCAD will still work then.
- StavrosK 6y agoYes, I use OnShape as my main driver and Fusion less frequently.
