#carpentry #cad #3dprinting

Wondering if anyone uses CAD to design furniture they want to build.

Hubby is a really good carpenter, and we need more specific furniture after a move to a house where the old furniture didn't fit.

Is there a CAD program out there that can print to paper with measurements. eg. for each unique part of the build?

And - probably dreaming here - also prints out an overview of parts showing how many of each is needed for the build?

Subscriptions are out.

@MaryPot have a look at "sketch up". I used it for just that. It has changed allot so I'm not sure about the features but it might be what you want :)

I did. Dave suggested it. Minimum USD 55 subscription. We are trying to avoid having to lock into subscriptions.

@OldZean

They do have a free version, but you have to prove that you are working in primary or secondary education.
