About SelfCAD

SelfCAD is a 3D modeling for users of all levels. There is an online as well as downloadable versions for Windows and Mac.
Most of the CAD programs available are either expensive or don’t generally provide all the necessary 3D modeling and printing tools. Some take months or years to learn and are meant for specific industries. SelfCAD has bridged this gap as it’s affordable, easy to learn and it targets all the industries. It has a simplified user interface too making it a perfect tool for novice users.
SelfCAD is fully-featured including modeling, Sculpting, rendering, simple animations, and 3d print slicer, but the aggregate amount of tools is much less than any compatible software package because of its brilliant UX.
The in-built slicer of SelfCAD is handy as it helps prepare the designs for printing without having to switch to another program. SelfCAD is very affordable.

There are interactive tutorials available that helps one learn 3D modeling with much ease.

    "Powerful and Easy to Use Software"

    Posted 2022-02-18

    Pros: SelfCAD is a powerful 3D modeling software for users of all levels. What I like the most is the presence of the interactive tutorials that makes learning 3D modeling much easier. There is also rendering feature that makes it easier for one to create realistic renders of their designs.

    Cons: The software used only to be online and there was no downloadable versions, but a downloadable version was launched recently and it's wonderful.

    Overall: -Powerful 3D Modeling and slicing software for beginners and professionals in 3D modeling and 3D printing.

    "With buy nothing"

    Posted 2020-06-03

    Pros: If you don't buy it, not much to do with it, the batman demo..if you buy it you can do it.

    Cons: Cost for hobbyist.

    Overall: I would like to see more in the free, cromes offers more. So if they allow me to do 2/3 of what the demo video did would be cool. Hey but it's free, so not much.
