I visited a friend who is a professional medical engineer, and watched him work on a 3D design on some software paid for my the university they worked at. The options and features looked very practical!

Although I am not even close to working on so complicated projects, I did love the funtionalities. So now i have decided to put in the effort and learn a decent program, instead of using Tinkercad. I have been very happy with Tinkercad, but some things are only doable with workarounds or very creative methods.

The question is, what software should i start learning?

-FreeCAD
-Fusion 360
-AutoCAD
-Sketchup
-Blender
-LibreCAD
-Something else entirely?

    Have you tried v1. 0 of freecad? It’s a completely different beast and I’m yet to find anything it can’t do versus fusion 360 (the previous package I used) . We’re actually using it professionally at my job now aswell because of its custom user made work benches and scripting tools which no other package allows.
