Solvespace Brings Open‑Source CAD to the Browser – Free 2D/3D Modeling Online
The open‑source parametric CAD system Solvespace has taken a major step forward by offering a fully functional browser‑based version. Compiled with Emscripten, the experimental web build lets users create and edit 2D sketches and 3D models directly from any modern web browser, without installing any software.
Originally a desktop‑only application, Solvespace’s web variant retains the same lightweight, free‑CAD experience that has made it popular among hobbyists, engineers, and educators. The web version runs on the same code base, delivering the familiar constraint‑based modeling workflow while leveraging WebAssembly for near‑native performance.
Key features of the web CAD include:
- Parametric 2D sketching and 3D solid modeling.
- Full support for constraints, dimensions, and Boolean operations.
- Export options for DXF, STL, and other common formats.
- Instant sharing of models via a simple URL.
Users are encouraged to report bugs and contribute to the project through the GitHub repository. The latest update (March 27 2026) improves stability and adds several UI refinements for the web environment.
