HELLO everyone…I am interested in 3d designing as well as 3d printing and I am new to this field!..I having few questions and i need Ur suggestions or answer for the same!.::
OnShape is probably about the most full featured and cross platform tool there is out there. That and AutoDesk Fusion 360 are probably your best bets if you’re looking to learn something for serious 3D design. They are a bit complicated, but there are tutorials and loads of videos out there which will help you learn.
I 2nd the Fusion 360 suggestion. So many great tutorials on YouTube.
I use SolidWorks complimented by S3d.
When I got started with 3D printing my initial instinct was that I would need license commercial CAD software if I wanted to accomplish anything serious. Having dabbled in Pro/E and Solidworks in the past, I knew this to be a challenging space from a software engineering standpoint, and my expectations for FOSS alternatives were low. I had planned to use SolidWorks with my new 3D printer, and set aside a significant chunk of change for a license. Dassault Systèmes did not have a sales rep that I could speak to on the weekend, however, and in my impatience to get started with the printer I figured that I would give FreeCAD another spin, having tried it a year or two prior without a lot of success. Needless to say, the project had come a long way, and ended up being perfect for my needs. 18 months later, the $6500 that I had set aside for SolidWorks remains unspent.
There are a number of helpful FreeCAD tutorial videos on YouTube, and once you get the hang of the general workflow it’s easy to expand your skillset by following the documentation and searching the forum discussions. I subsequently evaluated Fusion 360, and while I suppose that from a superficial standpoint it’s slightly more polished, I didn’t like the idea of my work being trapped in some “cloud” product that may be free of charge today, but might not be a year or two from now. Open hardware and free software are what the RepRap movement is all about, and those who have been involved in 3D printing longer than I have who may have tried earlier, less mature versions of FreeCAD might be encouraged to see how far the project has come. It probably can’t do everything that some of the proprietary products do, but it does have some neat features that they lack, and development seems to be moving fast enough that any gaps in functionality are likely to be resolved before a beginner will ever encounter them.
It depends on what you what you design. Try several programs because ther never is just one that is the best. Each program has its strengths and weaknesses. if you want to design buildings or architecture, ships or mechanical parts, then Autocad or solidworks are the two which cost most to use, and have a high learning curve. Seeing as your new, and this is your first attempt, try the free programs first to get an understanding on the concepts and principals with the free programs first. Adam Savage who frequently builds models for movies and commercials uses Rhino for everything. He finds it very intuitive to use, while some other people with less experience found it a bit complicated. You might even try whatever package is recomended by the printer manufacturer you just bought from. I would not bother with anything that has a monthly subscription, the general feeling among the internet community is we want that type of business model gone. Pay once and its yours.
For the true beginner.
