SolveSpace is a free (GPLv3) parametric 3d CAD tool. Applications include:

Modeling 3d parts — draw with extrudes, revolves/helix, and Boolean operations
Modeling 2d parts — draw the part as a single section, and export; use 3d assembly to verify fit
Modeling 3d-printed parts — export the STL or other triangle mesh expected by most slicers
Preparing 2D CAM data — export 2d vector art for a waterjet machine or laser cutter
Mechanism design — use the constraint solver to simulate planar or spatial linkages
Plane and solid geometry — replace hand-solved trigonometry with a live dimensioned drawing

Major new stable release. Includes new arc and line length ratio and difference constraints, comments associated with point entities. Adds "exploded view" to sketches, and support for displaying measurements in "feet-inches". Adds a pitch parameter to helix extrusions. Allows use of Point and Normal to define a new workplane to sketch in. Adds live updating of Property Browser while dragging the sketch, and active links for all points, normals, and vectors in the Property Browser. Adds the ability to link STL files into a model. Includes a variety of UI improvements. Speeds up complex sketches by up to 8x and doubles the maximum unknowns.
