CadCraft Studio 0.8

Don't just open an app. Build something.

Buildings, infrastructure, machines, fabrication details and industrial systems: the kind of work the eight apps in CadCraft Studio help a firm take from idea to deliverable.

Eight separate open-source apps in CadCraft Studio. Not SuperCad Studio, the separate all-in-one product.

These are jobs, not feature lists.

Each example starts from a real goal. The chain of apps shows how the work can run; it does not claim each step has been filmed.

Twelve things to engineer

The software is free. Building it is not.

CadCraft is open source, and Community has every app and every feature, for personal work and paid client work alike. An owned license is a permanent commercial license in your name, from $1, and it pays for the people building the Great Eight and what comes after it. It adds no features: nothing is held back from Community.

The Team Cloud Plan is a separate service. It will add team seats, cloud saving and sync.
