Does so much more than you think it does…

Not only is this the freest CAD app available, I still think it’s the best until you just really need that extra level of detail. You’re not going to be making 40K miniatures using this or anything, but you can create just about any functional object that you can craft using basic shapes and their negatives. Watch some YouTube tutorials because although it’s very easy to pick up, the rabbit hole goes pretty deep.

When I clicked Start Tinkering, it got stuck on the loading screen and never loads.
