A free and open-source 2D and 3D design software for hobbyists and makers, offering an accessible interface for creating models and prototypes.
Tall Guys Free is a free and open-source computer-aided design (CAD) software targeted at hobbyists, makers, and engineers for creating 2D drawings and 3D models. It is designed to be easy to use, even for beginners with no prior CAD experience.
The intuitive interface allows users to create 2D sketches and plans as well as 3D models using basic geometric shapes and tools. It supports extrusions, revolutions, lofts, sweeps and other modeling capabilities to turn 2D sketches into 3D objects. An assembly mode helps combine separate parts into a complete model.
Tall Guys Free includes tools to add details like fillets, chamfers, holes and shells. The measurements are accurate and designs can be exported to common file types like STL, OBJ, STEP and IGES for 3D printing or CNC machining. Projects can also be shared online via its built-in cloud library.
The software is completely free with no paid upgrades. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux with hardware acceleration available to speed up performance on slower machines. An active community forum offers tutorials and technical support for new users. The open-source nature also allows customization and adding new features.
