About

FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters. FreeCAD allows you to sketch geometry constrained 2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects. It contains many components to adjust dimensions or extract design details from 3D models to create high quality production ready drawings. FreeCAD is a multiplatfom (Windows, Mac and Linux), highly customizable and extensible software. It reads and writes to many open file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, DAE and many others, making it possible to seamlessly integrate it into your workflow. FreeCAD is designed to fit a wide range of uses including product design, mechanical engineering and architecture. Whether you are a hobbyist, a programmer, an experienced CAD user, a student or a teacher, you will feel right at home with FreeCAD.

About

ViewSTL is a 3D model viewing and sharing platform, designed to make it easy to share 3D models online. The platform supports the STL file format and provides a range of features to help users upload, view, and share 3D models. It supports multiple file formats, which can be easily uploaded and viewed. ViewSTL also offers a range of settings to customize the view of the 3D models, such as background colors and lighting. With ViewSTL, users can also take screen captures or videos of their 3D models for easy sharing. Finally, the platform also allows users to share their 3D models with other users. View 3D STL files directly in your browser, no software installation is required. We use three.js library, with HTML5 and some good old javascript. We upload nothing to our server. All is done locally on your own computer. You can now easily display 3D files directly in your own website. You can also communicate/alter the model within your page at runtime.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It works very well. It has a somewhat steep learning curve which is less if you come to it fresh. It is a very, very good program. I've used the other big 3, and this is very, very comparable. I highly recommend it.

Cons

  • Nothing comes to mind.
