# Design for 3D printing

- [TinkerCad](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/design-for-3d-printing/tinkercad.md): A simple option
- [Shapr3D](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/design-for-3d-printing/shapr3d.md): Shapr3D is a CAD(Computer Aided Design) program which is available on Computers and iPads. When used with an iPad it is necessary to use a Stylus or Apple Pencil. YOU CAN NOT JUST USE YOUR FINGER.
- [Fusion 360](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/design-for-3d-printing/fusion-360.md): Fusion 360 is a professional level CAD/CAM program with many, many add-ons. Out of the options listed here it is the most robust. You can use Fusion online or as a program.
- [OnShape](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/design-for-3d-printing/onshape.md): OnShape is an online CAD Program
- [Thingiverse and other online resources for STL's](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/design-for-3d-printing/thingiverse-and-other-online-resources-for-stls.md): Not usually the best option!
