SolveSpace is a free, open-source parametric 2D/3D CAD application with a constraint-based sketcher and solid modeling via extrudes, revolves, and Boolean operations. It supports exporting STL, STEP, DXF, PDF, and SVG for 3D printing, CAM, and 2D part workflows.

Use cases

model 3d parts for 3d printing
export stl files for a 3d printer
draw 2d parts and export dxf or svg
prepare cam data for laser cutting or waterjet
design and simulate planar linkages and mechanisms
solve geometry problems with a live dimensioned drawing
create parametric assemblies of linked parts

When to choose

you need a lightweight, free parametric CAD tool for mechanical parts
you want constraint-driven sketching with a built-in geometric solver
you need STL/STEP/DXF export for 3D printing or CAM workflows
you run Windows, macOS, or Linux and want an installable desktop CAD app

When to avoid

you need advanced surface modeling, fillets, or large assemblies found in commercial CAD
you require DWG compatibility or industry-standard drawing documentation
you need a cloud or browser-only CAD workflow (though a limited web version exists)
