Yes, you can.
Not only you can use it on multiple computers, but you can also access your projects and objects from any computer. This option is available for our online application, as well as for the desktop version with cloud storage.
SelfCAD was designed and created by a forward-thinking team that saw the need for an intuitive, user-friendly, easy-to-learn CAD software package that was still powerful and authentic. With SelfCAD, you don’t need to launch multiple programs to design, customize, and print an object — it’s all there in one program. Furthermore, we wanted it to be accessible and affordable, especially for students and first-time users.
There are two ways you can do this.
1. Go to File > Import then select your STL file.
2. Alternatively, you can select your STL file and simply drag and drop it in the workspace.
