+SOLVESPACE is a free (GPLv3) parametric 3d CAD tool. Applications
+include:
+
+ - modeling 3d parts - draw with extrudes, revolves, helixes and
+ Boolean (union / difference / intersection) operations
+ - modeling 2d parts - draw the part as a single section, and export
+ DXF, PDF, SVG; use 3d assembly to verify fit
+ - 3d-printed parts - export the STL or other triangle mesh expected
+ by most 3d printers
+ - preparing CAM data - export 2d vector art for a waterjet machine
+ or laser cutter; or generate STEP or STL, for import into
+ third-party CAM software for machining
+ - mechanism design - use the constraint solver to simulate planar
+ or spatial linkages, with pin, ball, or slide joints
+ - plane and solid geometry - replace hand-solved trigonometry
+ and spreadsheets with a live dimensioned drawing
+
