    "Not bad for Freeware"

    Edited 2022-07-29

    Pros: Ease of use and number of functions available in free version. Relatively powerful modelling suitable for engineering 3d printing purposes.

    Cons: As freeware the overall number of functions are reduced when compared to full paid version (Spaceclaim), but still more than good enough to generate 3 d engineering models for 3d printing.

    Overall: Fantastic for a free version, easy to learn and relatively straight forward modelling for 3d printing purposes.
