e-mishka Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 What is a good 3D modeling software for a beginner? I intent to use it to prototype some minor parts in 3D printer(plastic or metal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I use fusion 360. It's free if you make under 100,000 a year from the business using the product. Great cad and cam. Lots of how to online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmiller Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Auto desk 123design is free to download too. It basically works the same. Edited October 10, 2015 by bmiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-mishka Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 I'll give fusion360 a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygiant Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 +1 for fusion as well. Also watch NYCCNC on YouTube. He's got good videos on using the fusions CAM package! I'm actually using fusion right now to prototype a set of clip-ons and riser for my Yamaha FZ-09. Also modeled up some base pads for my CZ 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinj308 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Big time +1 on nycnc for cad and cam, and he's a uspsa shooter too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Agreed! Nyccnc. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygiant Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I didn't know NYC shoot uspsa that's awesome, may have to get to a tormach open house of his! I did very much enjoy the M&P 22 silenced sbr series. Also watching his videos really is what drive me to start the path in on for the Advanced Manufacturing Technology degree in currently pursuing.
