#solvespace
solvespace is a decent nice parametric CAD replacement, but it's not been very popular. I've used it multiple times to make small part replacements.

SolveSpace is the coolest shit I've seen in a long while

#solvespace is supremely suited to quickly do some technical drawings. Handed this to our institute's machinist and they were very happy to make me the part 😊

New #solvespace 3.2 seems to have changed laptop touchpad behavior. Previously, RightClickDrag would move and Shift+RightClickDrag would rotate the view. Now I have to TwoFingerDrag and Shift+TwoFingerDrag to do the same. Not sure if I like that... I'll have to bisect my way through the repo and […]

Huh, I totally missed that #solvespace made a release - after four years! I was building from git anyway so didn't notice:

https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#32

And there's even one of my additions in there:

> Add an 'only unconstrained' option on the Property […]

SolveSpace te deja crear piezas 2D y #3D con medidas que puedes modificar después. ⚙️

Un #CAD libre, ligero y muy capaz para impresión 3D, corte láser o modelos técnicos.

Ideal si buscas una herramienta paramétrica sin depender de grandes suites.

Компютърното проектиране има проблем с репутацията си. За повечето хора CAD-проектирането е свързано с инсталационни файлове от няколко гигабайта, тромави мениджъри на лицензи и абонаменти, които понякога струват повече от хардуера на вашия компютър. Днес има много инструменти за проектиране, които не изискват абонамент, но нито един от тях не е наистина добро решение, когато става въпрос за CAD. Поне докато не откриете SolveSpace. Това е леко приложение с отворен код, напълно параметричен 3D CAD инструмент, който работи не само на вашия десктоп, но и в браузъра ви. Без хардуерни ключове, без обвързване с електронен облак и без нужда да се притеснявате за хардуерните спецификации.

Got skill issues in FreeCAD, Fusion360 is ""free"", and I move too slowly in OpenSCAD, but yeah sticking with solvespace/dune3d for this would be fun

Okay so I want to model something... I have two choices: (a) properly learn to model via, say, Blender or (b) use stuff I already know like Dune3D/SolveSpace to export them as step/stl and convert them in Blender lol

Ever wish you could do parametric modeling in blender? Someone took the SolveSpace engine and put it into an add-on �

For generating profiles to feed into nodes, this is an incredibly powerful too. Also useful for all you 3D printing nerds out there.

An experimental web version of SolveSpace 2D/3D CAD
SolveSpace, a parametric 2D/3D CAD program, is developed primarily as normal desktop software. It’s compact enough that it runs surprisingly well when compiled with emscripten for the browser, though. There is some speed penalty and there are many remaining bugs, but with smaller 2D/3D models, the experience is often highly usable. In keeping with the […]
