Parametric 2D/3D CAD tool.

Upvote

SolveSpace is a remarkably lightweight, free parametric 3D CAD program. It excels at mechanical engineering tasks, offering robust 2D and 3D constraint solvers.

Despite its small footprint, it allows engineers to simulate planar and spatial linkages, export to standard formats for 3D printing or CNC machining, and draw complex parts with precise geometric constraints.

Key Features

  • Parametric 3D modeling and 2D sketching
  • Constraint solver for mechanical linkages
  • Exports to STL, STEP, and SVG
  • Extremely lightweight single executable
