Parametric 2D/3D CAD (computer-aided design) software

SOLVESPACE is a parametric 3D CAD tool. Applications include:

modeling 3D parts — draw with extrudes, revolves, helixes and Boolean (union / difference / intersection) operations
modeling 2D parts — draw the part as a single section, and export DXF, PDF, SVG; use 3D assembly to verify fit
3D-printed parts — export the STL or other triangle mesh expected by most 3D printers
preparing CAM data — export 2D vector art for a waterjet machine or laser cutter; or generate STEP or STL, for import into third-party CAM software for machining
mechanism design — use the constraint solver to simulate planar or spatial linkages, with pin, ball, or slide joints
plane and solid geometry — replace hand-solved trigonometry and spreadsheets with a live dimensioned drawing
