Hi Rohan

Assembled Cogniscenti
Just wondering if anyone is using 3D modelling software;
eg https://www.pannam.com/blog/best-3d-cad-modeling-software/
because I know nothing about such !

 A friend was dubious when I suggested
 FreeCAD eg https://www.freecadweb.org/
-zero dollars
-open source
-MacOS, Windows,Linux

as an alturnative to
 SolidWorks eg https://www.solidworks.com/
- >1000 dollars
-proprietary closed source
-Windows only

This 100% depends on your usage case.

FreeCAD is free and does a good job of individual model, but assembles the last time I look as not good.

SolidWorks is amazing a total package but its not >$1000 its more than >$10000 and features like CAM add a lot more.

Fusion360 is an option my family business uses F360 with paid licenses which are <$1000 a year, we have good CAM and CAD. But the assembles are limited to about 600 components before it slows down. The free license does most things with a few limits. CAM works but limits the speed of fast moves and is 2.5D only.


Cheers

Mike
