Open Source CAD In The Browser
(hackaday.com)
As if the original comic wasn't reductive and unnecessarily dismissive enough, you've somehow made it worse. Let people make things if they think they have a shot at it, please.
When will there be a Tor version of CAD?
TorCAD
I want to leave Fusion360 for 3D printing as I switched to Linux and I really do not want that cloud connection. Any recommendations?
FreeCAD
AFAIK there's only FreeCAD, but it is very different to work with so be prepared to relearn a lot of workflows.
Agreed. It is very powerful but the interface has a long way ahead to be user friendly. Still, it is worth the effort if you really care about sticking to linux.
Freecad. Turn on snapping and use the the helper. Seems like every new move requires a sketch rather than autocads sketch it all and then do 3d operations.
Tried it briefly, seems nice but couldn't find snapping, setting certain lenghts and other must haves.
Why put CAD software in the browser?
because that's the new hip OS
Looks cool, wishing them the best of luck. Would be awesome to have a properly functional open source CAD software to compete with the likes of Fusion.
