What is the best free 3D modeling program??

[Buckeye]

I have about 30 hours of travel ahead of me starting tonight, so I figure now is as good of time as any to get a start on learning to 3D model for the design of my cockpit.

 

Any software/program suggestions are welcome...SketchUp? Fusion 360? Blender?

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions :thumbup:

Of the free stuff, Fusion 360, hands down.

Awesome, thank you. I will look in to some tutorials for learning this.

If you are former military, SolidWorks has a deal for $25 license for a full educational license as well, if you want to learn another CAD program. I prefer SolidWorks, though I am a bit slanted, I use it every day for the day job.

Switched from Sketchup over to Fusion360, but that mainly because I wanted to make small things for 3D-printing.

 

Nevertheless: Sketchup is totally OK for designing a pit.

Here in this subforum are a lot of detailed plans to find which proove that.

I am surprised nobody said ONSHAPE : https://www.onshape.com/

 

I only use this. It is really nice for Mechanical design.

Fusion 360 and OnShape. Sketchup is not bad, but once you tried the other two, you'll begin to realize what you missed out on.
