About:
SolveSpace is a parametric 2D/3D CAD tool that allows users to create precise geometric models using constraints. It provides a lightweight yet powerful alternative to complex commercial CAD software, enabling mechanical part design and assembly modeling. The software supports export to common formats like STL, DXF, and SVG for manufacturing and prototyping.

Key Features:

Parametric constraint-based modeling
Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux)
Assembly constraints and motion simulation
Export to STL, DXF, SVG, STEP
Lightweight and open-source

Use Cases:

Mechanical part design for 3D printing
Precise 2D drawings and technical illustrations
Prototyping and hobbyist manufacturing projects

Alternatives:

FreeCAD – More complex and feature-rich but heavier system requirements
OpenSCAD – Code-based modeling instead of interactive GUI, steeper learning curve
