Although we have a lot of computer 3D modeling software and browser-based suitable for 3D modeling, today's phones and tablets are more portables for us.If we can design 3D models on tablets and phones, we can record our inspiration anytime and anywhere. It will improve our efficiency significantly. So here, we have listed ten excellent 3D modeling apps for you. Some are android modeling apps; others are iOS 3D modeling apps. A small number of them have both Android and IOS versions.

Part 1. Top 10 3D Modeling Apps of 2022

1.AutoCAD Mobile

To remind you that this app maybe not be your best choice if you want to design something for a 3D printer. Because it is not a specialized app for 3D design. AutoCAD Mobile’s DWG viewer and editor are suitable for architecture- or BIM-related functions. This free app has many limitations, so you can subscribe if you want to get more functions from it. Under two subscription plans, Premium and Ultimate provide editing and additional storage. That means if you already have an AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT subscription, all Premium features are available to you. It has both Android and IOS versions.

2. Morphi

Morphi is simple modeling software that aims to design a simple and practical 3D modeling app for the general people. It has an excellent bonus feature. You can transform high-contrast images and convert them into 3d objects automatically. It’s a pity that it is an iOS 3D modeling app only suitable for iPad.

3.Onshape

Onshape is mainly for professional users, as it has both the main PC platform and Onshape mobile apps. This 3D modeling app has iOS and android versions. As long as it is convenient for users on the journey, it allows you to make changes to large projects while you are not in your office. It is free for non-commercial projects, but if you design for a commercial project, you need to subscribe to the Onshape platform for about $1,500 per year.
