SolidCraft: an open-source parametric 3D CAD application built in pure Rust. Desktop, web, and automation through MCP.

Save to My finds to follow releases and star growth. Saved in this browser.

About the project

An open-source parametric 3D CAD written in pure Rust, a clean-room reimplementation of Autodesk Fusion 360, with sketch constraints, a feature timeline, and export to STEP/IGES/STL. Runs as a desktop app, in the browser, or headless via CLI, and can be driven by AI agents over MCP.

Useful for
  • Model a parametric part as a JSON command script and export it to STEP from the CLI
  • Let an AI agent sketch, extrude and measure a part through the built-in MCP server
  • Import an existing STEP file, measure its volume and area, then build new features on it

6.7 Peaking Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 16, 2026, 18:16 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0400800October 7, 2026October 16, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-16 (UTC), 00:04–18:02: 2720 → 3022 stars (+302). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +393 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 9 days old and already has 3,022 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this month: #48.
  • Hacker News: “Show HN: SolidCraft – Open-Source Parametric CAD in Rust (With MCP Support)” — 141 points, 3 days ago.
  • About 60 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 2,823.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
