[Full video](https://github.com/tangency-labs/solidcraft/raw/refs/heads/main/docs/screenshots/demo-0.8.mp4), recorded with the [demo script](examples/demo/record_ui.sh).* ## Download - **Windows:** the [installer][windows-msi], or `winget install bherbruck.SolidCraft`. - **macOS:** the [disk image][macos-dmg] (Apple silicon and Intel). - **Linux:** the [AppImage][linux-appimage], or `sudo snap install solidcraft` ([Snap Store][snap-store]). - **Web:** [try it in your browser][web-app], no install. ARM64 and 32-bit builds, portable zip, .deb, .rpm, Flatpak and the other packages are on the [downloads page](docs/downloads.md). The downloads aren't signed yet: on Windows choose **More info**, then **Run anyway** in SmartScreen; on macOS right-click SolidCraft and choose **Open** the first time. On SolidCraft 0.11 to 0.14, download once by hand; see [updating](https://docs.solidcraft.io/guide/updates.html#updating-from-011-to-014). ## What works Early but usable for simple parts: 75 of 76 public reference parts match their analytic or FreeCAD-computed volume, area, centre of mass and bounding box ([oracle](docs/oracle.md)); the other is a tracked bug. - **Sketches and constraints:** lines, arcs, splines, text and more, solved by our own constraint solver, with parameter-driven dimensions. - **Features:** extrude, revolve, sweep, loft, fillet, chamfer, shell, draft, holes, threads, patterns, mirror, split and combine on an editable parametric timeline. - **Parameters and configurations** with unit-aware expressions. - **Assemblies** with joints, motion studies, contact sets, interference and mass properties. - **Sheet metal** with flanges, hems, fold/unfold and flat patterns, and plastic enclosure features. - **Files:** STEP, IGES, 3MF, STL, OBJ and glTF in and out where supported, URDF export, `.solidcraft` designs. - **Desktop app, browser app, headless CLI and MCP server**, all running the same commands. The full list is in [docs/capabilities.md](docs/capabilities.md) and [docs/features.md](docs/features.md); status and plans are in [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md). See also [what people built](docs/showcase.md), [3D mouse support](docs/3d-mouse.md) and the [architecture](docs/architecture.md). ## Build from source ```sh cargo run --release -p solidcraft -- --sample # desktop app with a sample part cargo run --release -p solidcraft-cli -- commands # the command registry cargo run --release -p solidcraft-cli -- run examples/bracket.json --out bracket.step cargo xtask ci # fmt, clippy, tests, icons, assets, layers, wasm ``` More commands, the Windows cross-build and the browser build are in [docs/building.md](docs/building.md). ## AI agents (MCP) `solidcraft-cli mcp` is a [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server. Headless it runs its own design session, or with `--connect` it drives the running app so you can watch. Claude Code: `claude mcp add solidcraft -- solidcraft-cli mcp`. Tools, access rules and an example session: [docs/mcp.md](docs/mcp.md). ## Scripts A script is a JSON list of the same commands the UI runs, executed with `solidcraft-cli run`. Format and example: [docs/scripts.md](docs/scripts.md). Pages can also be driven through the [browser command API](docs/browser-api.md). ## Contributing Help is welcome. [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) covers how to build and test, the code map, the clean-room and licence rules, and where help is wanted most. Open work is in [GitHub issues](https://github.com/tangency-labs/solidcraft/issues); chat is on [Discord](https://discord.gg/FtU4NQNVDH). ## Sponsors [](https://www.blacksmith.sh) SolidCraft's continuous integration runs on [Blacksmith](https://www.blacksmith.sh), which sponsors its CI minutes. ## Licence MIT OR Apache-2.0, at your option.
