SolidCraft releases an open-source parametric CAD app in Rust with an MCP server
Original titleShow HN: SolidCraft – Open-Source Parametric CAD in Rust (With MCP Support)
SolidCraft is an open-source parametric 3D CAD application built in pure Rust, available for Windows, macOS, Linux and in the browser. Its built-in MCP server lets AI agents model, measure and export parts headless or in the running app.
The author says it is early but usable for simple parts, and that 75 of 76 public reference parts match their analytic or FreeCAD-computed volume, area, centre of mass and bounding box.
The post names the open-source CAD app, its Rust base and MCP server, and states that its checks cover 75 of 76 reference parts, which helps readers judge its maturity.
