Abstract
The authors of the article define the criteria for a selection of the most suitable software tool for creating and presenting virtual 3D models in educational research. Geomagic Design system is presented as a software that meets the specified selection criteria to create 3D models and the software environment of Adobe Acrobat Reader is a convenient means of their presentation. The experience of the authors from the research application of virtual 3D models in the educational process confirms, that the pupils can work with the mentioned software products without any problems and without any instructions.

In general, open source is any information available to the public under the condition that the possibility of its free distribution remains preserved. In this case, it is not important to talk about licence fees, open source means freedom of access. Open source is the philosophy of an open source movement founded by Eric Raymond. Specifically, open source means open-source software, which was the original meaning. It was later generalized (generally, open content is also used). Open source software must have an available source code; end users must have the right to use it free, modify and distribute the software, as well as the right to pack and sell the product. Software with the source code released as a public domain, even under the GNU General Public License (GPL), complies with these conditions.
