Fabricator Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### ""Best 3D software you can trust"" January 29, 2021 4.0 It's one of the best so far cos it give me additional experience to what I have learned Pros The pricing is free and you can upgrade to a pricing categories to have access to some of its features and it's the easiest so far for beginners like me and professionals as well and it's also gives you access to a space where you can start a project on your own and still be learning and brings your imaginations into reality Cons It keeps loading and when I finally got into the work space then it's start hanging for more than 10 minutes before I can finally start my project Review Source Response from SelfCAD February 10, 2021 Hello Fadare, Thank you so much for the great review.

June 9, 2022 5.0 Designing and constructing parts and prototypes. Pros The overall structure and ease of use makes this the best there is for advanced usage and beginner learning. The Excellent Communication & Service of the SelfCAD development team is second to none. The constant updates and feature advancements on the application and online environment is fantastic. This works easier than Inkscape, Corel Draw & Illustrator in raw image generation. Cons Additional Ways to manage files created and load downloaded tutorials into the PC Program. Needs more ways to input drawing & item images into 3D structure for modification and development.

Lecturer Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great introduction to cad modelling for 3D printing " February 27, 2023 3.0 Excellent interface for importing in vector image files and modifying - be great if their was a bit more complexity around modifiers and object wrapping. One of the best introductions to cad modelling for 3D printing on the market. Pros Very easy and intuitive user interface - the dialogue box prompts and active/suggested tutorials are particularly useful. Can quickly produce print ready models. Cons It is a shame the product seems limited in terms of parametric modelling (does not have the ability to wrap a mesh around a complex object - or perhaps I haven't discovered this yet as only on day 5 of the trial period). Online tutorials are great for producing simple objects but am unable at this stage to find more complex modelling techniques/strategies for jewelry design/complex and more complex parametric shapes. Appreciate this software is not attempting to actively compete with Moi3D or Rhino, but a little more functionality would go a long way.

It easily integrates with augmented reality apps like MarvinXR and Aryel. This app allows me to create cubes with their six faces in different colors. The formats for both import and export. You can also do rendering and animations Cons I don't dislike anything, this app is perfect for 3D modeling Switched from [Tinkercad](https://www.capterra.com/p/207354/Tinkercad/) This app allows me to create cubes with their six faces in different colors.

But I was limited to the model of the editor. Then SelfCad arrives and opens to me a way to express my creativity with a complete 3D modeling Software. No need to have a powerful laptop, SelfCad is an online tool with all I need to create, transform, and render my creation. Pros With this online tool, I can access to a top 3D modeling software from anywhere at any time. Cons Maybe, they can add more templates. The library offers some pretty tutorials.

Product Technologist Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Ease of Use for Very Basic Modeling" February 9, 2023 5.0 Ease of use for the basic occasional need is a plus for me and it remains on my radar to purchase if the need for more detailed drawings and/or 3D representations arise. Pros The user interface is easy to understand and the features in the free version are great for the occasional need to have a 3D representation of a basic sketch. The speed of rendering and the ease of changing dimensions as well as adding text are plusses that help in presentation. Cons Has everything a free version should have, but it would be a dream to add materials for a better rendering. Switched from [Tinkercad](https://www.capterra.com/p/207354/Tinkercad/) Ease of use.

The learning curve is small because of it's many intuitive tools. Cons It's subscription-based and you pay monthly or annually. I like to own my products as much as possible.
