SolidCraft
SolidCraft is an open-source parametric 3D CAD application written in Rust. Sketch on a plane, constrain and dimension the sketch, turn profiles into solids on a feature timeline, and change a parameter to watch the timeline rebuild.
Features
Section titled “Features”- Geometric constraint solver: Sketch on planes with parameter-driven dimensions, coincident points, tangency, perpendicularity, symmetry, and equality.
- Feature timeline: Parametric extrude, revolve, sweep, loft, fillet, chamfer, shell, holes, and patterns. Every feature is recorded chronologically and recalculates when earlier steps change.
- Assemblies & components: Multi-body modeling, components, joints, sheet metal workflows, and plastic enclosure tools.
- Interoperability: STEP, IGES, 3MF, STL, and OBJ import and export.
- Automated & agentic control: Every action is a command scriptable via CLI, a JSON control channel, or a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI coding agents.
Documentation guides
Section titled “Documentation guides”- Getting started: Workspace layout, basic concepts, and creating your first parametric solid.
- Install and update: Installing with ArtCraft Launcher, Flatpak, AppImage, or compiling from source.
- Workflows: Sketching, parametric modeling, assemblies, and automation with CLI/MCP.
- Troubleshooting: Resolving constraint conflicts, broken timeline features, and display issues.
