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)
