Fast, open-source computer-aided design and drafting in pure Rust.
2D architectural floor plans, mechanical drafting, pick-point wall hatching, room schedules, dimensions, command line, and native DWG/DXF/SVG import and export.
Designing Carton Dielines or 3D Packaging?
Take CADCraft 2D dielines directly into WasmCraft (wasmcraft.com). Fold cardboard in real-time, test hot-stamp gold foil, and export 1:1 manufacturing SVG with zero install.
Precision Engineering, Architectural Drafting & CAD
Object Snaps & Precision
Sub-micron precision math with automatic snaps: endpoint, midpoint, center, intersection, tangent, and perpendicular. Infinite smooth pan & zoom.
Familiar AutoCAD Aliases
Keep your keyboard muscle memory intact: type `L` for line, `C` for circle, `REC` for rectangle, `TR` for trim, `O` for offset, and `EXT` for extend.
Pick-Point Boundary Fill
Associative wall hatching, room boundary schedules, concrete stippling, and insulation patterns that update dynamically when walls are stretched.
Export DXF & 1:1 Vector SVG
Export layered CAD files with exact line weights and colors (#ff007f cut, #00d2ff crease) directly to Kongsberg, Zünd, laser cutters, and CNC mills.
100% Offline Proprietary CAD
Patented engineering drawings and defense prototypes never leave your local workstation. Zero mandatory cloud logins, DRM dongles, or telemetry.
MCP & Parametric Scripts
Automate drafting tasks with Claude and Cursor. Generate complex mechanical flanges or architectural floor plans directly from parametric code.
CADCraft vs. AutoCAD
| Metric | CADCraft (Pure Rust) | AutoCAD |
|---|---|---|
| Cost & Licensing | Free forever (Open Source MIT/Apache) | $250 / month or $1,975 / year recurring |
| Startup & File Opening | 0.3s launch, 18ms for 100k vectors | 30-45s startup with license server check |
