SolidCraft 0.20: open-source Rust parametric CAD cuts big assembly frames from 10s to 2.8ms
Promptmethus · x · 2026-10-24
SolidCraft, an open-source parametric CAD built in Rust, released v0.20.0 for desktop and browser.
- Large assemblies are far faster: LOD, GPU transparency and faster picking bring 25 see-through copies of a 2M-triangle part from 10s per frame down to 2.8ms
- Construction axes now work for Circular Pattern and Revolve
- Camera stays put when leaving a sketch; fixed a Windows stutter caused by 3D mouse scanning
- Parametric modeling with editable feature history; STEP and mesh import/export
- Connects to AI agents via MCP to run modeling commands, measure geometry, change parameters and export files
