# SolidCraft is Parametric, Automation-friendly CAD for Desktop and Browser > Source: > Published: 2026-10-17 11:00:51+00:00 If you’re looking to try a new, open source 3D modeling CAD suite, especially one with automation-friendly interfaces, take a look at [SolidCraft](https://github.com/tangency-labs/solidcraft). It’s under development but there’s support for all the usual features like sketches, solid modeling, and constraints as well as a full parametric feature timeline. A parametric timeline essentially means the model exists not as a single discrete object, but as the sum of a sequence of operations. One advantage of this is being able to set things up so that if one changes a value (like wall thickness), all the features that depend on that change automatically get rebuilt as a result. But there’s more! Written entirely in Rust, SolidCraft can run as a desktop app or as a web app in a browser. Everything the user can do in SolidCraft is a command with JSON parameters, and it offers a built-in headless command line interface and even an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server built specifically to give AI agents a way to use the program, should one be interested in experimenting with that sort of thing. SolidCraft is still in early development, but so far quite a few features seem to work as they should. Check out the [development roadmap](https://github.com/tangency-labs/solidcraft/blob/main/ROADMAP.md) for details, and there’s a live online demo if you’re in the mood to click around and get a feel for things. We have seen quite a few open-source, [browser-based CAD efforts](https://hackaday.com/blog/?s=browser+cad) over the years and it’s encouraging to see developers continuing to explore fresh ideas and features in the CAD landscape.
