Feel a bit lost? Well here’s a list of online 3D modeling software packages you may be interested in. One is free and whilst the other you have to pay a monthly subscription fee.

Wait, I forgot to ask you whether you knew what 3D Printers are? Ok let me show you:

Here’s some info about the product:

Kai wanted to build a robot, Mikko a rocket. Turned out it was harder to do then they thought. Taking months to learn pro-3D software is very dull. “Our lives are too interesting for that!” they thought. Not fun – something had to be done! So in 2011, Tinkercad begun.

Thus, the story begins of how Kai Backman and Mikko Mononen founded Tinkercad bringing the first browser-based 3D design platform to the masses. Based in San Francisco, CA, Tinkercad is an easy-to-use and powerful 3D CAD tool enabling design of physical products ready for 3D printing. Users are guided through the 3D design process through ‘Lessons’, which teach the basics before moving on to more complex modeling techniques.

Are there any others that I missed out?
