Blender is a free open source software for 3D modelling, animating, programming and rendering, and can also be used for 3D printing (Blender can actually be used for a huge scope of applications, but is not optimized for all of them - for example, Blender hasn't got a very powerful game engine, but a good rendering system).

Applications include 3D rendering, photo editing or 3D printable modeling.

Luzian wants to give a Blender seminar in summer 2019 when the new version 2.8 is launched because it is has a much better interface which is much more beginner friendly.
