Where each one falls short

Tukatech
- Sold as a wide set of separate products, TUKAcad, TUKA3D, SMARTmark, TUKAstudio and others, rather than one application
- Much of the line is hardware, including cutters, spreaders and printers, so the software is part of a larger capital purchase
- Pricing is not published
