SolidCraft brings parametric CAD modeling built in Rust, with AI-agent MCP interface

SolidCraft is an open-source parametric 3D CAD application written entirely in Rust, offering sketching, constraints, and a feature timeline so models rebuild automatically when dimensions change. It runs on desktop or in-browser and includes a built-in MCP server that lets AI agents perform modeling operations directly. The project reports 75 of 76 public reference parts matching analytic or FreeCAD-computed geometry checks, with one known bug tracked.

Hobbyist Switches from Cuttle to OpenSCAD for Laser-Cut Designs

A maker who previously used the Cuttle parametric CAD service to design laser-cut keyboard holders has since switched to OpenSCAD, an open-source CAD tool, citing concerns over design ownership and portability. Using OpenSCAD, they built a cable-management box for a partner, complete with finger joints and a decorative cat-silhouette cutout pattern on its front and back panels.
