| Name | Website | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tinkercad | https://www.tinkercad.com/#/ | Simple web based design program. Combine basic shapes to build more complex objects. Great for simple designs and younger users. |
| Blender | https://www.blender.org/ | Powerful open source 3D modeling and rending program. Lots of capability, steep learning curve. |
| Sculptris | http://pixologic.com/sculptris/ | Based on the paradigm of shaping clay, you start with a sphere and use different tools to push and pull it into the shape you want. Good for artistic modeling, not so much for precise |
| OpenSCAD | http://www.openscad.org/ | Programming language based modeler. Write code to create your objects. Very flexible for creating configurable objects. |
| Fusion 360 | https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/free-trial | Parametric CAD program with tons of features. Great for creating precisely dimensioned objects, mechanical devices, etc. |
| OnShape | https://www.onshape.com/ | Web-based CAD program. Not as many features as Fusion 360, but covers all the important bases and is simpler to learn. Doesn't require as much computing power to run properly. |
