Blender is a free and open source 3D computer graphics software tool set for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
It is used to create 3D models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, augmented and virtual reality, and many other related things.

Pikes Peak Makerspace has installed Blender 4.0.2 on our Design Workstations 1-3. (Workstation 2 runs Blender better than the others.)
