A full-featured 2D + 3D CAD application built in Rust with GPU-accelerated rendering. Native DWG & DXF read and write, paper space, ACIS solids, dimensions, layouts. An open source community project by Hakan Seven, recognized and promoted by the OpenAEC Foundation.
oh also the openaec foundation endorsement means literally nothing, they didn’t exist three months ago, their website is all vibecoded, and they linkjacked the name of an existing organisation with the same name incorporated in japan.
AI slop? You can’t build stuff like this by hand in a few months.
I hate AI slop as much as the next guy… but what if this is useful… been looking for CAD software on Linux for ages -.-

FreeCAD has become pretty good lately. If you have tested it before v1.1 (March 2026) you should certainly give it a go again.
If you’re fine with programming your CAD instead of visually composing it, OpenSCAD is fine as well.
what solver does it use?
Whatever Claude put in
On an unrelated note, if someone tries to rugpull a foss license, but Claude is listed as a committer, can the license be changed? I thought licensing ai code was basically a no-go since copyright has been scrapped for ai output??? I’m sure that won’t last.
As far as I know the ruling specifically applies to cases where there there is no human involvement whatsoever, since copyright can only be granted to human authored works. If something has an element of human involvement it may be copyrightable even if generative tools were used in its creation.
It’s not some sort of “anti-copyleft” deal where a single generated commit somehow nullifies the copyright of the human-authored parts. It’s kind of a trend among slop-detractors to act like this is the case (that a single piece of generated text somehow turns the entire project into slop) but there’s no legal basis for that I think.
