How to use MakeByMe – our 3D modeling free tool

The simplicity of MakeByMe

You can see it clearly in your mind: bookshelves that slot into the nook in your living room as if made to measure, or a desk that perfectly occupies the space between the bed and the window in your guest bedroom. But you just can’t find the right piece of furniture in real life. So why not design it yourself?

At HomeByMe, we want to give you the freedom to do exactly that without needing to invest in costly modeling tools or other CAD software. That’s where MakeByMe comes in, a 3D design software free of charge for you to use. This 3D modeling free software allows you to create a design, model your furniture in your virtual home and receive simple instructions to build your custom DIY furniture yourself. As if that wasn’t good enough, our design software is easy to learn and suitable for both professional designers creating plans for clients or amateur interior design lovers.

Whether you wish to create a dining table, bookshelves, a coffee table, or an outdoor bench, our MakeByMe 3D modeling free software accompanies you step by step to make your vision reality. You can customize every aspect of the piece of furniture from the material, length, width and depth right down to the hinges and the screws.
