CAD that feels direct.

ForgeCAD is a native modeling workspace built around the fastest loop in design: sketch an idea, lock down what matters, and pull it into 3D without leaving the canvas.

Workflow

Sketch, constrain, model

Adaptive workspace

The canvas stays central while tools change with sketch mode and the current selection.

Precision sketching

Lines, arcs, circles, polygons, offsets, trimming, snapping, dimensions, and geometric constraints.

Direct solid tools

Extrude, revolve, shell, fillet, transforms, patterns, and Boolean operations use the same command system.

Native documents

Save editable ForgeCAD packages locally and export manufacturing geometry as STL or OBJ.

Engineering

Built from the geometry up

The interface sits on a Swift geometry domain, an undoable command architecture, a polygonal modeling kernel, and a Metal viewport with selection, snapping, camera inertia, and live tool overlays.

That separation is deliberate: sketch constraints and modeling operations remain testable without a window, while the UI can stay responsive and contextual.
