SolidCraft is open-source parametric 3D CAD in Rust: sketch, constrain, extrude, and change a parameter to watch the timeline rebuild. Documentation · try it in the browser · contributing · issues. AI agents can model with it over MCP: solvecraft-cli mcp (how).

Compatibility names are unchanged: existing .solvecraft designs, solvecraft-cli, package IDs and archive filenames still work. Published 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 releases keep their original SolveCraft branding. Documentation, the browser app and the Flatpak feed use the new SolidCraft project Pages URLs; old-name Pages addresses are not permanent aliases.

Which file?

  • Windows: SolveCraft-{version}-windows-x64.exe runs as is. Or install the .msi, or unzip the -portable.zip (x64, x86 and arm64).
  • macOS 11+ (Apple silicon and Intel): open the .dmg and drag SolveCraft.app onto Applications. The CLI is in solvecraft-cli-{version}-macos-universal.zip.
  • Linux (x86_64 and aarch64, glibc 2.35+): the .AppImage (chmod +x, then run it), the .deb or .rpm, the .flatpak (flatpak install --user <file>), or the .tar.gz.
  • FreeBSD: tar -xzf solvecraft-{version}-freebsd-x86_64.tar.gz --strip-components 1 -C /usr/local.
  • Web: solvecraft-web-{version}.zip is a static site to host yourself.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt --ignore-missing.

For Flatpak feed installation and updates, add Flathub for the required runtime before installing SolidCraft; keep both remotes in the same user installation:

flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists solvecraft https://bherbruck.github.io/solidcraft/flatpak/solvecraft.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user solvecraft ai.storyteller.solvecraft
flatpak run ai.storyteller.solvecraft

Single-file .flatpak bundles include the runtime repository address; missing runtimes still need an internet connection. Linux installation details.

The builds aren't signed yet. On macOS, right-click SolveCraft.app in Applications and choose Open the first time (or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SolveCraft.app). On Windows, SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": More info, then Run anyway. Licences are built in (Help ▸ About ▸ Licences, solvecraft-cli licences); the packages also install THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt. Known limitations: ROADMAP.md.
