SketchUp Pro is modelling software for 3D printing that's simple, fun, and predictable. Make what you can imagine.

Design it. Make it. Enjoy the process.

Start modeling right away

Don’t waste time learning complicated software. SketchUp is the fun, easy way to learn 3D modeling. Once you’ve got the basics down, draw whatever you imagine—one element at a time.

Create any shape imaginable

Transform simple shapes into imaginative structures using SketchUp’s Move and Scale tools. And, with Solid tools, you can manipulate geometry easily. Combining a wing onto a model plane or interlocking parts together? No problem.

Take risks. We've got your back.

SketchUp’s speed and simplicity support exploration, experimentation, and the occasional misfire by letting you make and fix mistakes before you ever get to g-code. And, in the case of true catastrophes, there’s always Autosave.

Your 3D toolkit

STL import and export

SketchUp speaks STL – and a whole bunch of other 3D file formats – so your models are always one click away from the standard 3D printing file format.
