Free 3DCoatPrint

3DCoat Print is a free, simplified version of the professional 3D sculpting software 3DCoat.
Designed specifically for 3D printing enthusiasts and beginners, it allows users to quickly and intuitively create, modify, and export print-ready 3D models using digital voxel sculpting.
3DCoatPrint is a free compact studio with one primary goal: to let you create your models for 3D printing as easy as possible.

Voxel sculpting technology allows you to do anything feasible in the real world without worrying too much about technical aspects. Start with simple primitives and go as complex as you like.
The only limitation is that your exported model gets reduced to the maximum of 40K triangles, and the mesh is smoothed specifically for 3D-Printing.

All is for FREE.

Key Features and Definitions

• Voxel Technology: Operates like digital modeling clay. Instead of dealing with complex polygons and mesh topology, users can freely cut, add, and merge shapes seamlessly without worrying about breaking the geometry.
• Simplified Interface: Strips away advanced texturing and game-development tools for a streamlined, easy-to-learn workspace focused on printing.
• Sketch Tool: Lets users draw 2D sketches across multiple projection planes (front, top, side) and instantly convert them into 3D voxel objects.
• Print-Friendly Exporting: Automatically optimizes the model for 3D printing by applying specific mesh smoothing, limiting exports to a safe maximum of 40K triangles, and simplifying the STL export process.

• Completely free for any, including commercial, use if the 3D models you create are intended to be 3D-Printed or for creating rendered images. Other uses may only be for personal, non-profit activity.
• All 3DCoat sculpting tools and 3DCoat render inside
• The only limitations are applied at the time of Export: the models are reduced to a maximum of 40K triangles, and the mesh is smoothed specifically for 3D printing.
• Special Adaptation of the 3D model for Export 
• Import and view DICOM files (not for medical use). You can change and save the models in .stl and .wrl formats.

Ideal Use Cases

• Miniature & Product Design: Perfect for rapidly prototyping toys, figurines, and consumer goods.
• No-Constraint Sculpting: Allows artistic freedom comparable to real-world clay modeling.
• 2D Renderings: Doubles as a tool to create and output high-quality 2D rendered images of your sculpted models

Usage Limitations

While it is an extremely robust and completely free application, it has a few specific constraints:

• Creation Limits: Your exported models are restricted to a maximum of 40,000 triangles.
• Commercial Use Restrictions: The free license is restricted to personal, non-commercial use, or solely for rendering 2D images
