The Next Layer | I'm Ditching Blender for Onshape @thenextlayer | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this video, I share with you what I think is the best 3D design software for 3D printing. This video is brought to you by Onshape. Check them out at https://onshape.pro/nextlayer

You've probably heard 3D printing content creators like myself say it before, and it's worth saying again: If you're not designing your own custom parts to solve your unique problems, then you're only getting a fraction of the benefit out of your 3D printer. But where to begin?

In this video I'm going to compare and contrast two of the major free options available to makers, share which one I use for what, and explain why you might want to do the same.

Whether you're just starting out with 3d design and cad modeling, or you already know how to use a parametric design software and design your own STLs for 3d printing, this video will explain which program I use for what, and why you, too, might want to consider checking those apps out.
