Constraint-based geometry sketcher for blender This is a project, where I give you a way to use SOLIDWORKS on Linux!

This is a project, where I give you a way to use Autodesk Fusion 360 on Linux! Experimental attempt for the next generation assembly workbench for FreeCAD The user interface is highly customizable, and has dozens of translations.

It can read DXF and DWG files and can write DXF, PDF and SVG files. LibreCAD is a cross-platform 2D CAD program written in C++11 using the Qt framework. a collection of Blender addons to make CAD design with Blender even more enjoyable A python parametric CAD scripting framework based on OCCT When comparing DesignSpark-Mechanical-for-Linux and solvespace you can also consider the following projects: There are also many NURBS & mesh issues in SolveSpace worse to fix. The main problem of SolveSpace, is that it still has broken STEP export, as a result exported solid surfaces are non-manifold and after import into FreeCAD it is almost unusable (it may require a lot of work with 'Shape builder' and 'Surface' Workbench to revert it back to solid body). While SolveSpace is not a competitor to FreeCAD, it still could be used for design wide range of complex things for 3D printing or shop drawings, including assemblies.

SolveSpace exported DXF (2D & 3D wireframe) & STL/OBJ (mesh) could be used as a base for FreeCAD and other apps (Blender, LibreCAD).

SolveSpace is a good 'Stage 1' tool for sketching ideas, while FreeCAD is more like 'Stage 2' tool for converting sketch into real product. > There is a reason people love Solvespace over FreeCAD even though it is incredibly limited in comparison.Īs a SolveSpace user for nearly a decade, who started to learn FreeCAD last month, I may say that both apps has own pros'n'cons: SolveSpace has simpler UI (but lack of features for experts), while FreeCAD has a lot of features (but UI to complex for 'normal' users).Ībout 'limited in comparison', he is may latest quick comparison of both apps: I'm a mod of r/SolveSpace community on Reddit.
