Onshape is a free, browser based 3D design tool especially suited for teamwork and more complicated 3D printing.
"Installation"/Sign In
Only an internet browser and WebGL are required to use Onshape. Simply visit [[2]] to see if your system supports it (it probably does).
Registering for an account is free and simple.
Preparing a Model for 3D Printing
Printing from Onshape is almost as easy as it gets:
- align your model(s) if necessary, this may be more difficult later on
- download the model as an STL file (Partstudio → Export → stl)
- slice, e.g. in Cura
