SolveSpace is a free (GPLv3) parametric 3d CAD tool. Applications include:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Modeling 3d parts — draw with extrudes, revolves/helix, and Boolean operations</li>
|
|
<li>Modeling 2d parts — draw the part as a single section, and export; use 3d assembly to verify fit</li>
|
|
<li>Modeling 3d-printed parts — export the STL or other triangle mesh expected by most slicers</li>
|
|
<li>Preparing 2D CAM data — export 2d vector art for a waterjet machine or laser cutter</li>
|
|
<li>Mechanism design — use the constraint solver to simulate planar or spatial linkages</li>
|
|
<li>Plane and solid geometry — replace hand-solved trigonometry with a live dimensioned drawing</li>
|
|
</ul>

<release version="3.1" date="2022-06-01" type="stable">
|
|
<description>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
