Recommendations to others considering QCAD:
There are better alternatives when it comes to CAD tools, especially for professional use. But for use with underage students, it is one of the best alternatives. Additionally, there is a free version for Ubuntu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is QCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need to teach how to create pieces and draw their views, elevation, plan, and profile, as well as obtain rendered 3D models, and even an STL file compatible with the 3D printer to physically create the objects. With the students, we have worked with the free version of Ubuntu and have managed to get the students started in the experience of using CAD tools and creating plans with the views of different objects without any investment, and even printing them with the 3D printer. They love seeing how their projects come to fruition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
