The project’s GitHub repository shows an impressive slate of features, but also notes that things are changing as this is alpha software. The CAD kernel is a common one brought in via WebAssembly, so there shouldn’t be many simple bugs involving geometry.

We’ve seen a number of browser-based tools that do some kind of CAD. CADmium is a recent entry into the list. Or, stick with OpenSCAD. We sometimes go low-tech for schematics.

    I want to leave Fusion360 for 3D printing as I switched to Linux and I really do not want that cloud connection. Any recommendations?

      AFAIK there’s only FreeCAD, but it is very different to work with so be prepared to relearn a lot of workflows.

        Agreed. It is very powerful but the interface has a long way ahead to be user friendly. Still, it is worth the effort if you really care about sticking to linux.

      Freecad. Turn on snapping and use the the helper. Seems like every new move requires a sketch rather than autocads sketch it all and then do 3d operations.

    Looks cool, wishing them the best of luck. Would be awesome to have a properly functional open source CAD software to compete with the likes of Fusion.

    Tried it briefly, seems nice but couldn’t find snapping, setting certain lenghts and other must haves.
