02 / START DIRECTLY
Already know what you need?
No mirror downloads. Every action below leads to the project’s own GitHub or website.
Try the web app
Explore the modeling workflow in a desktop browser. Your project stays in your browser.
Launch official web app ↗Install desktop
Choose the official package for Windows, macOS, or Linux and read the current update notes.
Official downloads ↗Use CLI or MCP
Run scripts headlessly or let compatible AI agents model through the built-in MCP server.
MCP documentation ↗03 / REALITY CHECKUseful now.
Useful now.
Still early.
SolidCraft covers a surprising amount of parametric CAD, but a promising feature list is not the same as production validation.
Read the current roadmap ↗Parametric solid modeling
Sketches, constraints, unit-aware parameters, and an editable feature timeline cover many simple-part workflows.
Multiple ways to work
Desktop, web, headless CLI, scripts, and MCP all use the same underlying command system.
Import and export
Common CAD and mesh formats are supported where documented, but every critical round trip should be tested.
Production boundaries
CAM, full production drawings, and other mature-suite workflows should not be assumed complete.
04 / CHOOSE WELL
SolidCraft, FreeCAD, or Fusion?
A practical orientation—not a benchmark. Validate the features your actual project depends on.

05 / FAQ
Fast answers.
How does the project fit checker decide?+
It maps your selected use case and must-have capabilities to a transparent, hand-reviewed ruleset based on SolidCraft’s official documentation and roadmap. It does not use generative AI.
Does this site upload or save my choices?+
No. The checker runs entirely in your browser tab. There is no account, cookie, analytics tracker, or server submission.
What is the official SolidCraft GitHub repository?+
The current official repository is github.com/tangency-labs/solidcraft.
Is this an official SolidCraft website?+
No. This is an independent project-fit and onboarding guide. SolidCraft belongs to its maintainers; official links are clearly labeled.
