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
