What Users Love About the App

“The pricing is free and you can upgrade to pricing categories to have access to some of its features it’s the easiest so far for beginners like me and professionals as well and it 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.”

“That you do not have to download it. When executed from the browser, allows users to change tasks easily and the ability to save, when we do it with just registering on our website.”

“I really like the mode of “Sculpting”. It has a large number of modeling brushes. Also, SelfCAD has a very interesting feature- Shape Generator. This makes it possible to create a model faster and more interesting, and also speeds up the work with simple forms.”

“I tried almost all other CAD software and I can say that no other 3D Modeling software comes close to what SelfCAD has done! As a semi-professional 3D modeler I need software that simply works and that is intuitive enough to self-learn it and that’s what SelfCAD is all about!”

“One of the most user-friendly and intuitive CAD programs out there. Easy to use and master. Plus free for students and teachers.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“It keeps loading and when I finally got into the workspace then it starts hanging for more than 10 minutes before I can finally start my project.”

“NON-MANIFOLD MESH ERRORS… the many times I get this when doing a union or difference is infuriating, I do my best to make sure everything is realistically sound, but when this pops up hours into a project, I start to rip my hair out, it’s a major issue that needs to be fixed very soon”

“Since it is free and simple, you can not do important work.”
