Will 3d modeling benefit from more cores?

Aside from gaming, I use my desktop a lot for 3d modeling and prepping files for my 3d printer.

I'm currently on a 7700k, thinking of making the jump to a 3800X or 3900X. With very similar IPC, the slight disadvantage in clock speed may justified by a 200-300% core count increase, but I'm not sure how often I'll utilize it.

What do you guys think?
 
What software are you using? Generally most file conversion apis are single threaded, so the best single core ipc will help you as will as fast ram and disk. The modeling canvas can be enhanced by a supported GPU. Now rendering can benefit a lot from multi core, or simulation FEA stuff. Really though depends on how the app you are using is designed. My money is your 7700k at or near 5ghz would probably be either faster or hold its own.
