Which 3D Design Software should you use?

A common question for people starting with 3D design is which software they should use. Should one use Fusion 360, SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor, CATIA, Revit, or 3DS Max? In this video, Tayseer Almattar will try to help you answer this question.

At the end of the day, the best 3D design software is the one you can use! So roll up your sleeves and get in there!

The only thing I would have to say is pick one that you like but learn them all because companies keep switching through so make yourself an asset

I'm a certified solidworks professional and I love the software because many companies use it for their solid modelling works and it's hard to not find work if that's the only software you know. They also have a wealth of online tutorials and one of the best structured certification exams.

Which software would be used for passenger airbag design? Say the gas will be in canisters. There are sensors to measure the height, weight, and position of the occupant. TIA.

And sketchup? Where does that come in?

how much time does fusion 360 take for complete learn

In my undergrad university, we only learned CATIA. now, everywhere I go except automotive and aerospace companies, I find myself like an alien.

so where does autocad fall in all of this?

I am using architectural 3d modelling and rendering with 3ds max over 10+yrs.Now I like to learn product modelling and visualization.Could you please help?

I use solidworks for product design and learning Autodesk Alias + speedform for transportation design

I’ve been using Ashlar Cobalt for years and love it. Unfortunately they haven’t migrated to 64 bit yet.

Nothing said about Siemens NX direct competitor of Catia. Nothing said about SolidEdge from Siemens direct competitor of Solidworks and Inventor

[tebharshyeola]

Which will the best solidworks or simens nx ?

[mhmudashrf]

Seimens unigraphs NX in the same level of catia

Hello everyone,
i need a a little guidance, i am a product designer and currently doing masters with the the project on human generated kinetic energy harvesting products. i need to find that which software can help me illustrate the impact of human energy harvesting. like how much energy could be generated by walking and running? Please if someone can guide me.

Is solid works and simen nx good for Indian market? To have a wealthy job in engineering sector.

'HVAC simulation using solidworks', is it possible?
I mean, is it comman using solidworks for HVAC design and simulation?

As an interior designer I'm looking for better software for my Rendering. I have formal training in Revit but I was looking into 3DS max. Which would you recommend?

[chambrolukamesh]

hey I've been using Catia v5R20 software for 1 year it is not very complicated, I find it very easy to use the interface of the software is friendly, the best thing is that you can design a very complicated figure and modify it in 3-dimensional view and also there are so many things hidden in there which I didn't explore like stress analysis and many

Why is 3Ds Max there? That is for 3D Animation, the fact that the software is 3D it does not means that is gonna be used for the same objective.
