123D Make

Autodesk 123D Design

123D is a desktop 3D modeler for Windows. Unlike other 3D programs, you don't need a lot of experience to create high quality objects. It is for people who have always wanted to make cool 3D art but don't have the skills to use complicated (and expensive) software. Created by Autodesk, you'll be able to make 3D designs from scratch. This CAD program has some elements similar to those of other Autodesk software. Tools like edge tweaking, push, pull patterning and symmetry turn your projects into realistic looking models.

So you just made a cool 3D model, but wouldn’t it be great if you could turn that into a real object you can hold? Well, 123D Make by Autodesk allows exactly that. How does it do that? It turns a 3D object into cardboard templates. After printing these templates, you can use these to cut cardboards or foams. Glue them together, paint and your virtual 3D object is literally in your hands. The program is a bit different from other 3D graphics software, but it will only take a while to get used to the interface.
