*UPDATE* Onshape has changed their pricing strategy quite a lot these days, and as Fusion 360 has improved its feature set, I have found myself using Fusion 360 over the last year. So that is my new recommendation!

You shoud said "best almost free cad" The problem its the word "free". Yes, you can use onshape for free but comes with a cost. Your design its not private if you dont purchase the professional account. Its a marketing game. They give you a little but to get more you have to pay. And fusion 360. Its completly free, yes. BUT only for 30 days, not commercial use. And even the subscription, the have in the contract that they can change the price plan whenever they want. So you cant trust them to use fusion on your company. The one that is completly free is FreeCad. Its open source, you can install it on many pcs you want, you can change the code, your design is your propriety (100%). And its on heavily development. Im a solidworks user but now I almost use only freecad

Yes, Fustion360 is where its at but I always recommend FreeCAD as well. It isn't as user friendly as some CAD programs but it is parametric and packed with features. It has CAM, FEA, CFD, Sheetmetal and there are always more improvements and additions with each release. The best part is it is and always will be 100% free and Open source. Fusion360 could pull the plug on hobby licences at any moment like onshape did.

Love it! First started using it in my FEA class last year and I fell in love ever since

Wow that looks a lot easier to use than my schools cad program when I was making a car on it I had to make every panel on the car and put it on the few squares that made up the cars shape if I fucked up I had to do the panel all over again

It depends on what you're doing. SketchUp sucks at curves and arcs, but it's ridiculously awesome for architectural models.

@DocWolph

Sketch up lacks a lot of curve tools. As a solid modeler it is okay and easy to pick up but it plateaus very quickly and you have to be really good, and or patient, to do something like a modern automobile. Form.Z, Pro, Jr, and Free, have curve tools and ca function like a cad program. Sketch up and Form.Z Jr are both about $700 and $500 respectively. Moments of Inspiration (MoI) is a Nurbs program than can works much like a cad program. It is about $200. CAD programs are usually going to be parametric, and be very keen to rely on measurements as it is expected you will be working form set parameters and measurements and not eye-balling it. I'll look at OnShape, but FreeCad is looking very promising.

Hi mate, was just wondering is there any software you'd recommend for conceptual design in an engineering context e.g a bike that suggests materials you should use and alternatives?

How about a software or application where you can draw and simulate suspension geometry

It would be great if you could do a tutorial on how to make a actual car in cad...I use autodesk but I'm not that skilled where i can make an exact copy of a car or know how to. A 350z would make a great demo car ;)

I need help, i have little project going on and i was wondering if there a simple program for studing aerodynamic around an obj model made on blender, if it is free its better, i dont need complicated and high details I only need some program to see how the air move around a body, thanks

I would still like to see a video on canards. What do the rear ones on DTM cars do?

Will it give you real Measurements looking to cad my go kart frame before i waste tubing

Hi ! You have CAD tutorial in OneSpahe ? :) I saw you have it a great skill in this softweare .

Is it possible to have the CAD you showed so that I can do some CFD to understand the functioning and usefulness of the various aerodynamic devices you used?

Is it very different from Inventor? I learned it and use it in the University and I kinda love to work with it :-)

I just started learning auto cad and trying to buy a laptop or computer, can you recommend any so I can install auto cad programs, ON A BUDGET

is it possible to export the models to different files?

Hey Kyle can you get , or how would you turn a photo of a car into an exact CAD design for 3D printing? Can you scan using tech hands on or another way? Do you know what this tech is called and priced at mate?

Do you know how can we do Large Eddy Simulations at home?

Will this let me take one part a a atv frame and part of a riding lawnmower and combine it

I have a doubt. Do you know if "imagine & shape" workbench is used on f1 world? or just the conventional surface workbenches for modeling. I see in some cases very complex shapes and I see that very diffficult to make in "generative shape" for examle. I´d like to know that, regards!!

they use alias, if you take a 6 month certification you make 150,000, so just of that fact, its very different and much harder. I tried using Alias, but got lost because there was way to many tools, you get 0.1 mm tolerance from the real manufactured car tho. I couldn't find any models for sale either

I used Inventor pro, is that a good program?

If this program is online then they have access to you work design ideas etc..?

wow.. that looks very close to solidworks!

itty looks alot like solid works plus it's parametric. I have tho check this out, being free you really have no reason not too.

I’m looking for someone who can design a basic car chassis and wants to startup an electric car company. Powertrain and systems I can do in spades. Building a frame/paneling... I cant do. I can help with specifications however.

What kind of programs such as this can run aero simulations?

Curious what CFD software you use?

I used this software for one of my projects after extensively using CATIA and I find it a little difficult to go through and I found some of the files not compatible. After some days, I am sure we will get a hang of it but its just about personal preference.

It’s called a blend feature on a lot software. You draw 2D sketches on several planes and then can have geometry blend from one sketch to the next. He did like 6 planes offset a certain incremental distance and then sketch a cross section for each you get that gradual car look.

i want to design a bicycle (actually tricycle for safety) with minimal components , and i am fried of searching. Rattlecad seems to be good but no simulation. can you help me in deciding about the proper design program. In India cost is also a factor which people take in mind.

Simply drawing any "wing" shape around a straight line a d then bending it along an arc will get you about 80+% to the lift/drag of a "perfectec" airfoil. However a ha d drawn airfoil is unlikely to be amenable to analysis. As they are teaching analysis in the FSAE projects they will use quantifiable airfoils. As a prototype designer you do not have to. Just sketch the airfoil, cut the end templates, fasten them to a block of foam, hotwire a shape and cover with fiberglass. Then you have a wing. Holding it to a car is an exercise for the builder. Have fun!

I think Autodesk Fusion 360 is better than OnShape. It even comes with a built in FEM stress/strain analisys tool. Unfortunately it doesn't yet have a special workflow for sheet metal, so if you're trying to design an alu monocoque Fusion isn't the best software.

Su², developed by Stanford University, is also great.

Man I barely learned anything about CAD in High school made a few weird shapes that’s bout it

It can be all you say, but the drawings are not yours to keep, also if the internet goes down, so goes what you did if you didn't save, the lag while drawing is terrible. I have broadband but is never that stable, the same goes for everything else with everyone. I will stick to FreeCAD for the meantime while I perfect my skills, they either solid works or another solution that I have control of.

Could like do a small proper guide?

SolidWorks is at the top of the hierarchy, but I am expert in it. I really love Fusion360 and it can even be run on a Chromebook and is very SolidWorks-like so hardly any learning curve and is a serious contender against SW. SW has issues like backwards compatibility designed in by GREEDY DSS, and has added CAMWorks (which is nice). OnShape is third on my list with a bit of a greater learning curve than F360, but is definitely a contender. Whatever your choice, start to learn the basics of 3-D modeling (sketch-extrude/planes/fillets/coordinate system) and you will be WAY ahead of the game. All modern technologies are based off coordinate systems: CNC, 3D printing, etc., and allow you to model real world objects digitally.

Sketch up :D

I'm guessing that any solid works tutorials would apply for this?
