SolidCraft releases open-source parametric CAD app in Rust with MCP server for AI agents
Overview
Developer bherbruck releases SolidCraft, an open-source parametric 3D CAD application written in pure Rust, for Windows, macOS, Linux and the browser.
Its built-in MCP server lets AI agents model, measure and export parts, either headless or in the running app. The author describes the project as early but usable for simple parts.
The author says 75 of 76 public reference parts match their analytic or FreeCAD-computed volume, area, centre of mass and bounding box. The report is a Hacker News Show HN post with 20+ points, and the accuracy figures are the author's own claims.
