If you have a 3D printer, sooner or later you’ll want to design your own parts instead of downloading someone else’s. The three CAD programs people ask about most are SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Fusion, and Onshape. All three are capable parametric modelers that export print-ready files, but they differ a lot in cost, platform, license rules,
