Open Source and Free Voxel Editors

goxel (update on 2019/Feb/12)
http://guillaumechereau.github.io/goxel/
https://goxel.xyz (https://github.com/guillaumechereau/goxel)

A free and open source voxel editor, available on Mac, iOS, Android, Windows and Linux. This one is currently my favorite, very simple to use and has all the basic practical functions. It also supports procedural generation (https://voxeltoy.com/). Compared with another popular software MagicaVoxel, I think this one is more suitable as a pure voxel modeling tool.

Voxlap
http://www.advsys.net/ken/voxlap.htm
Ken Silverman's open source voxlap engine. It has a real-time WYSIWYG editor - VOXED for editing the game map.

and Ken Silverman's PND3D demo, an abandoned successor to the famous voxel engine Voxlap: http://advsys.net/ken/voxlap/pnd3d.htm

Strip to Voxel
http://www.moddb.com/games/black-shadow-3d/downloads/strip2vox-v3-beta
A program to convert an image strip, or series of pictures in a long film strip like image, into a raw voxel model for later editing.
