Besides SelfCAD being the professional easy to learn and use 3D modeling tool, it’s also the only program that has incorporated all features under a single system. That is, from technical and artistic to 3D printing. The users can model, sculpt, and slice without the need for additional software.
We have also integrated MyMinifactory so users have access to a database of ready to print models that they can import and modify easily without the need to leave the software.
You do need an internet connection to load the SelfCAD.com online App but once it's loaded you can continue working offline.
SelfCAD is browser-based and only uses the cloud as a backup for your files and objects and to share your projects on all your devices but It can work perfectly fine offline, once it's loaded.

To move your files, you need to copy and paste the following directory from the old PC to the new one. Please remember that this option is only relevant to users using the desktop version of the application with the local storage. Every other version uses cloud storage, which allows you to access all your files by simply logging in to your account and connecting to the internet.
