  Thank you very much for the recommendation! I haven’t seen Plasticity yet in any “CAD shootout” comparisons and it looks super interesting.

  $100 for a non-subscription commercial license is probably the most appealing part right out the gate.

    You are welcome! I liked the interface and some of the workflows. It is more on the artistic side of things but totally capable of product design.

      I didn’t look too far into it but that might be exactly what I need. I’m more focusing on one-off projects vs mass-produced products so I don’t need a lot of the features of $$$$ CAD suites

    If you want a similar price for a more CAD-y like software (sketch/feature-based) Alibre Atom3D should approach that price (also non-subscription), though pricing may be regional. The italian reseller asks for 180eur (but already had a discount down to 130) which isn’t as cheap but definitely within the same range.

      That’s neat and yeah around the same price point. Looks like it also has parametric functions too. I’ll look more into it too, thank you!
