In a previous article, we explored the free 3D software that can be used in 3D printing (List of Free Software for 3D Printing). Actually, any 3D software can be used in 3D printing as long as it can save of export the model in STL format. Some 3D printers support other formats such as DAE and OBJ. If you do not have access to 3D software for printing, you can try the online 3D software or the browser-based applications that allow creating 3D models based on existing shapes or basic geometrics. Some of these online 3D software are free[…]

The first step in the 3D printing process is to create your model or convert your idea to a 3D printable document using a 3D software. While all 3D printers accept STL (Stereo Lithograph) file format, other 3D printers support other formats such as OBJ and DAE. There are many 3D software in the market that support the above formats. But the price of most of these applications is very expensive especially when you are a beginner in the field of 3D printing. If the price is a barrier for you to learn, you can go to the other free[…]
