SketchUp - Doesn't appear to allow exporting drawings in a format that I can give to a CNC shop.
#Brl cad vs solidworks license
And it appears that if you use the Free version, you are required to put an Creative Commons public license on them. It was totally flaky for me when I tried to use it. TinkerCAD - Web-based, which is definitely not what I'd prefer.
#Brl cad vs solidworks software
They really want you to use their software and then pay them to print your object on their 3D printer and ship it to you. And I'm not sure the free version will export a file that can be used by a CNC shop, either. So, I could not ever sell a bass I made using my design. 123D Design - Appears that free version does not allow you to use it for commercial purposes.
It CAN do 3D, but it's much more tedious to use it for that, since it's really intended to be used for 2D. It's a clone of an older version of AutoCAD (2010?). DraftSight - Free, but not oriented towards doing 3D models. But, I'm not sure if it's really good for doing the kind of curves I'd want to be able to do.
May not produce appropriate output for a CNC shop. But, seems more oriented towards creating animations and 3D graphics. I've already searched and read up on things here and have compiled this list: does not require me to place my designs in the public domain or grant any kind of license on them. produce a 3D model in some standard format (DXF?) that I can give to shop that will mill the parts for me on a CNC. To that end, I've been looking around for software to use to do the design. In light of my skills, experience, and equipment or lack thereof), I'm thinking of designing my bass in CAD/CAM software and sending body and neck blanks off to be CNC milled. I have basic carpentry skills but no proper woodworking skills or equipment.
Now, I want to design and build my own bass from scratch. And I did one "build" so far, using a Warmoth body (that was completely routed and painted) and an Allparts neck (that already had tuners and nut installed). I'm a software developer for a living and I've done some simple work in AutoCAD a LONG time ago.
