SolidCraft combines editable CAD models with an agent control interface

SolidCraft is a Rust CAD application built around constrained sketches and a timeline of modeling operations. Changing a dimension rebuilds the affected geometry, keeping the design editable instead of producing only a finished mesh. Desktop, browser and command-line interfaces share the modeling engine, and an MCP server lets agents inspect, measure and modify designs. The project describes itself as early and usable for simple parts.

SolidCraft

Why it matters

An inspectable modeling history offers a more editable result than an opaque shape generated in one step.

More context

The repository provides Windows, macOS and Linux downloads plus a browser version. Its MCP server can operate headlessly or connect to the running application. Try a disposable simple part in the browser first, then check required commands and export formats against the documented feature list.

Keep in mind

The exact original launch date was not established. Desktop downloads are unsigned, known geometry bugs remain, and reference-part checks do not demonstrate complete equivalence with established CAD applications.
