SolidCraft CAD (unofficial guide)

SolidCraft CAD is an independent, unofficial guide to SolidCraft, an open-source parametric 3D CAD application written in pure Rust. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the SolidCraft project. The official source code lives at github.com/tangency-labs/solidcraft, and the project's own website is solidcraft.io.

SolidCraft follows the workflow that anyone who has used parametric CAD will recognise. You draw a 2D sketch, add constraints and dimensions, then build 3D features on a timeline: extrude, revolve, fillet, chamfer, shell, holes, patterns, loft and sweep. Because every step is stored, changing a dimension early in the design makes the model rebuild. Parameters can be written as unit-aware expressions, so a single value can drive several features at once.
