Description

SolidCraft is a versatile open-source parametric 3D CAD software designed for the creation and modification of parts and assemblies. It enables users to produce dimensioned and constrained sketches while incorporating features like extrusions, revolutions, fillets, shells, holes, and patterns, all of which can be modified via a feature timeline that includes parameters and configurations. The application also supports component assemblies, various types of joints, motion simulations, workflows for sheet metal, and tools specifically for plastic parts. Users benefit from both desktop and web-based editors, command-line utilities, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which facilitate interactive, scripted, and agent-assisted design processes. SolidCraft is capable of importing and exporting a range of formats, such as STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, and 3MF, though each format has its own constraints; additionally, assemblies can be exported in URDF format. This software is particularly valuable for anyone involved in the design, inspection, modification, or sharing of mechanical components and assemblies. Its user-friendly interface and robust features make it an ideal choice for professionals in various engineering fields.

Description

Integrated version control along with straightforward management tools eliminates the expensive requirement for a separate PDM system, ensuring that you and your team always have access to the most current design data. Every alteration made by users is meticulously logged, allowing for a history of changes that can be reversed at any moment, thus offering limitless undo/redo options alongside a thorough audit trail. The option to branch and merge facilitates the simultaneous development of various product concepts. One of the standout features of SolidFace is its parameterization capability, which is utilized throughout all phases of design. 3D motion simulation benefits from this as it updates in real-time with any movement. Additionally, the software can simulate 2D mechanisms, allowing for analysis in either a 2D drawing space or within the 3D sketch environment. Furthermore, SolidFace provides direct access to an extensive online part library, boasting over 100 million part numbers sourced from numerous top manufacturers and distributors, as well as thousands of standards such as ISO, ANSI, DIN, NF, GB, and ASME. This comprehensive resource enhances the design process, making it more efficient and effective for users.
