None, other than sluggish on my 4 year old Macbook Air. Easy to select top-faces for chamfer operation. History allows for changing of font after creation. Video on YouTube showing off more complex stuff. After creation while selected you can access the Create -> Extrude menu to pull it into a shape. There is a Sketch -> Text menu that will create text as curves. Text Test:Ĭreate text, change the font, apply a bevel/chamfer. Result: Success : When creating new objects they will auto boolean if they overlap, nice feature. Overall Thoughts: Had the most fun with this one : While it has the most limited option for making custom geometry in the software, once you imported geometry it was fast and flexible.Ĭreate two mesh, overlap slightly, union together. Not really designed for solid modeling, but I thought I’d give it a shot to see what features it has in this area. Overall Thoughts: Feels like “Maya Light” (which is a good thing) : Will be interested to see what direction this software takes in the future. STL Export : Web App Fail, Desktop App Success. Bonus Test : Web App Fail, Desktop App Success. Text Test : Update : Success (old was Mixed ). I had a hard time with the user interaction. Over Thoughts: Mixed bag… a weird split of features between the web and computer app. I wish it ran better on my Macbook Air: Lots of crashing/graphics glitching. I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface. Just wish I could get svg import working. Overall thoughts: The most powerful when it comes to solid model design.
The apps compared were Autodesk Fusion 360, Autodesk 123D Design, Tinkercad, & Clara.io My test was done on a Macbook Air, Chrome web browser. I’m not expert at any of these: If any info I’ve presented is wrong, or you know a better way, please comment.
While I’m well versed with Autodesk Maya, I’m always interested in other (free) option for more simple things. I wanted to compare some standard features needed for creating 3d models in regards to 3D printing.
