Fusion 360 is one of the most capable design softwares for students or designers from high school to the professional workplace.
One of the most popular 3D printing design softwares available, Tinkercad is a free online design tool that allows anyone to design. From prep to university, if someone wants to get into 3D modelling for the first time, Tinkercad is a great place to start.
A free parametric 3D modeler that allows you to go back and make changes to your early decisions when designing that will automatically update the model. The power of parametric modeling becomes incredibly apparent in a classroom based research project, where early measurements can change without the whole project having to start again.
One of the more different pieces of design software, OpenSCAD is a free modelling software based entirely on coding the object into existence. Without any visual tools, OpenSCAD is really a great software for programmers or more advanced students who can make use of the incredible power that this free software has.
