For a free 3D CAD tool, PTC Cocreate Modeling Personal Edition is a powerful program. It is an explicit 3D CAD software. The modeled features of a part can be modified but they are history-free.
Its modeling function is surprisingly good for something that is free. It even has such advanced functions as draft-angling and shelling. […]

The first 3D program that I have used was Imagine 3D. It was a DOS program which I had on a 486 PC. I picked up Imagine3D in order to model and animate my Final Year Project as an Industrial Design student. The project is as shown below.
That was back in the mid 1990’s. Time […]
