It’s software cad. You write code that makes the 3d model. And then you print the 3d model.

The last “official release” was 2 years ago. But development (and community) is active. You gotta get the nightly builds.

    I got too used to Fusion 360 and now I’m stuck with it since I can make stuff fast, easy, and parameterized with full change history and it’s too much effort to learn something new to replace my workflow. Also its the CAM software for my CNC.

    I’ll probably play around with SCAD/Build123d though for fun.

      FreeCAD! I dont mean to be a evangelist, but it is finally good enough for myself that I made the leap from Fusion, and I haven’t missed it a moment. Your mileage may vary, but now is better than ever to give it a(nother) try

        I agree on freecad! Version 1.0 made it a lot more usable. I moved away from F360 some time ago and now that freecad is more useful it has comfortably replaced 90% of my workflow. It is still a bit clunky, but can get you there.
