CLUSTER CAD-PARAMETRIC-MODELING · 19 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-05-01

Parametric CAD applications

This cluster comprises parametric CAD applications, many open-source, for designing mechanical parts, models, and layouts, targeting engineers, hobbyists, and makers. The dated history before the index start shows sporadic entries from late 2019 through mid-2026, with a slight recent clustering in June and July 2026. The traction leaders, Materializr, FreeCAD, and SolveSpace, each currently have zero stars, indicating limited public visibility.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 19 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
