I’m curious why I don’t hear more about mattercad here or elsewhere? It’s free (not FOSS), and for me really fills the gap between tinkercad and most professional cad software. I often see questions about people wanting to move beyond tinkercad but being intimidated by the learning curve and the fairly large jump between it and higher powered software. Mattercad fits so nicely in this space. Yes it’s a bit slow once shapes get more complex, and it has some frustrating bugs that I don’t think will ever be fixed, but it’s both powerful and simple. I’m curious if there are places people think it falls short or if you think I’m wrong and there is a better intermediate software package I should be considering?
This is actually my first hearing of mattercad, I will have to check it out. I went from tinkercad to freecad and would agree that was quite a jump, but after watching a few low level tutorials I really started getting the hang out it pretty quickly.
Checked out the website, it seems amateurish and the comments on the free version indicate some very lacking support and functionally. Furthermore a search into matterhackers revealed a lot of poor reviews about the companies filaments. I have major doubts.
It is amateurish. That’s what I’m going for though.
So this post is just you self-promoting your proprietary platform in hopes of getting people to use it?
