SOLVESPACE is a parametric 3d CAD program. Applications include:
|
|
|
|
- modeling 3d parts - draw with extrudes, revolves,
|
|
and Boolean (union / difference) 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
