What is SolveSpace?
SolveSpace is a parametric 2D and 3D CAD tool for dimensioned parts and mechanisms. It supports solid-modeling operations and mesh export for printing. Its constraint-based approach is useful for understanding how a small functional design changes when its dimensions or relationships change.

- Constrained parametric sketches
- Extrudes, revolves and Boolean operations
- STL export and mechanism analysis
Where SolveSpace fits in a print project
- 01
Constrain the key dimensions and relationships of a sketch.
- 02
Build the solid and check the fit or movement of related parts.
- 03
Export the mesh and verify scale and clearances before slicing.
These are planning steps, not machine settings. Use your printer and material documentation for the actual production process.
Understand the tradeoffs.
Constraint-based modeling benefits from a deliberate sketch structure. Leave manufacturing clearance in the design rather than expecting the printer to create it.
Common questions
Can SolveSpace export printable files?
Yes. The project lists STL and other triangle-mesh export for 3D-printed parts. Review the output in your slicer before printing.
