FreeCAD is an parametric 3D modeler that lets you sketch geometry-constrained 2D shapes and use them as a base to build 3D objects. The program also allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters.

FreeCAD reads and writes to many open file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, DAE.

Cross platform (Mac, Linux). Many user-contributed addons/macros are also available, for example to let you easily create screws and bolts, instantly construct lego bricks, etc.

Blender is a powerful, integrated 3D creation software suite with character/solids modeling, animation, rendering, rigging, shading, motion tracking and post-processing tools. It lets users create high quality 3D graphics, movies and replay real-time, interactive 3D content. Its features can be extended with a variety of plug-ins, scripts, templates and more.

Cross platform (Mac, Linux). The program has been used for a wide variety of functions, including VFX, video edition, modeling etc.

Features include ASIO support, import (MP3, aiff, raw binary, au/snd, ADPCM and so on), MP3 export, statistic/analysis tools (2D/3D spectrum, real time oscilloscope), process tools (resample, bit-depth convert 8, 16, 24, 32 bits, pitch shift, vocal removal, etc.), batch processing and more.

Project Invincible is a chess game with a highly configurable artificial intelligence, as well as 3D graphics, animations, reflections and unlimited undo.

Cross-platform (Linux) and a PortableApps version is also available (thanks Gemini).

Graphical Expression Viewer can be used to visualize graphs of common mathematical functions. You can type in functions of the type z=x*sin(y), specify a range and then generate the graph for the function. The generated graphs can be rotated by dragging with the mouse. The application has a few interesting graphs built into it that you can select from.

Note: This application requires a 3D card with OpenGL support.

Solar System Information displays detailed information about the planets and their moons in our solar system. The images are all from real photos. You can use your mouse to manipulate the planet and rotate it in any direction.

Note: This application requires a 3D card with OpenGL support.
