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
