At last a free alternative that it is both 3d and 2d

Wolf Icefang's list of good software

My New Year's resolution for 2021 was to dive deep into the world of open source software. I now return from the depths, hauling up incredible jewels and treasures. You may have to look past poorly sized user interfaces, old-looking websites, and dull loading screens, but I promise you it's worth it.

What is SolveSpace?

SolveSpace is an Open Source 2D and 3D CAD (computer-aided design) program. It is a constraint-based parametric modeler with simple mechanical simulation capabilities. It is developed by Jonathan Westhues.

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 as a DXF, PDF or SVG; use 3D assembly to verify fit

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

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
