Everything you can do

All the tools a beginner needs to create 3D models for printing.

Who is Knetmeister 3D for?

For anyone who wants to create their own 3D figures without learning complicated CAD software first.

Total beginners

Never made a 3D model before? Start with a sphere, cone, or block and shape it with your mouse, just like modeling clay. No technical drawings or measurements needed.

3D printing fans

Own a 3D printer? Design your own figures, gifts, and decorations, export them as STL files, and open them in any slicer, such as Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, or Anycubic Slicer Next.

Teachers and students

A simple way to bring 3D design into the classroom. Students see results in minutes, and their work stays on the computer. Nothing is uploaded to the cloud.

Makerspaces and libraries

Give your visitors an easy first step into 3D printing. Knetmeister 3D runs right on Windows PCs and is installed and updated through the Microsoft Store.

Families and hobbyists

Make a small figure, a pendant, or a game piece together. Undo, redo, and a full history make it easy to try things out without worrying about mistakes.

Left-handed users

Knetmeister 3D has tools for both right- and left-handed people, so everyone can sculpt comfortably.

From idea to 3D print

Most 3D modeling programs are built for engineers. They are powerful, but they can feel overwhelming when you just want to make a small figure for your 3D printer. Knetmeister 3D takes a different approach: you sculpt instead of drawing.

Start with a basic shape, then build it up, push it in, smooth it, or pinch it with one of eight brushes. Add ready-made parts like a head, arms, legs, or hands, and move, rotate, and resize them with simple on-screen controls. Mirror mode shapes both sides at once, so faces and bodies stay symmetrical.

When your model looks good, the print preview highlights overhangs and thin walls that could cause problems on your printer. Then save it as an STL file and send it to your slicer. That's it: from a lump of digital clay to a real object on your desk.

Knetmeister 3D is made in Switzerland. It's a one-time purchase of $13.99 with a free 7-day trial. No subscription and no hidden costs.
