3dSynth is a generative 3D printing tool that creates G-code directly from mathematical rules instead of traditional 3D models. It completely bypasses the STL and slicer workflow, allowing users to generate printer-ready toolpaths straight from adjustable parameters. Every form is defined numerically, giving precise control over shape, texture, and structure in real time. Users can stack modular effects like ripples, blobs, noise, twists, and polygons to build complex organic or geometric surfaces. A real-time 3D preview shows the exact toolpath as it will be printed, helping catch issues before exporting. Spiral vase mode enables continuous Z printing for single-wall objects like vases and lampshades with translucent and sculptural effects. The final output is optimized G-code compatible with common FDM/FFF printers, ready to print without post-processing.

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.
