In the last 15 years I have being designing products on software like Inventor, SolidWorks and Fusion.

One thing that always bothered me was the lack of first class support to other operating systems than Windows.

Oneshape is only online and always in their cloud, so if someday they get acquired or close their software you are in their hands.

FreeCAD is a great product but is not intuitive for anyone coming from SolidWorks/Inventor/NX.

So I decided to change that, I am developing Oblikovati, an open source, multi platform ( runs and builds for Linux Wayland, Mac Universal and Windows) Parametric B-Rep CAD which is super lightweight.

Oblikovati is developed from the ground up, not a wrapper around OpenCascade, using GoLang and modern Vulkan API.

It opens in a second. You can use any mid tier hardware and it runs smoothly.

I have development builds ready to run for all OSes on GitHub: https://github.com/Oblikovati/Oblikovati

The features I expect to ship for a first stable release are already there including:

- Parameters & Complete Parameters Solver.

- Sketch 2D and 3D with complete Constraints Solver.

- Part Modelling including Sheet Metal support.

- Drawings & Annotations.

- Basic Assembly with Joints & Constraints + Assembly Parameters Linking.

- Imports: DXF, DWG, PDF Vectors, Obj, Stl, STEP, Various Point Cloud Files.

- Exports: DXF, STEP, STL, 3MF, OBJ.

Some niceties are: Complete UI color customisation with dark and light themes and Text format documents, so your designs are git friendly and easy to track design changes.

I am happy to receive bug reports, feature requests and any feedback helping to bring the software faster to a stable release 1.

In the last 15 years I have being designing products on software like Inventor, SolidWorks and Fusion, never had the opportunity to use NX but looks quite similar based on friends testimonial.

In the last 15 years I have being designing products on software like Inventor and Fusion.

One thing that always bothered me was the lack of first class support to other operating systems than Windows, Fusion has a Web Browser version, based on what I hear nobody likes that.

I have been using inventor for the last 15 years and I always wished to have an open source alternative which would not lock me to windows.

So I decided to create my own: Oblikovati, open source, lightweight and runs on Linux, Mac and Windows.

Oblikovati has also an AddIn comparable to Inventor, and I have been experimenting creating some addins for multi-physics FEA and CAM.

It is still on early stages, since it was built from ground up, not using any kernel libraries, but it is quite usable already.

Development builds available on GitHub: https://github.com/Oblikovati/Oblikovati

https://oblikovati.org is a free and open source, Parametric Mechanical CAD, which runs on Linux, Mac and Windows.

It supports importing files like STL, STEP, DWG, DXF and exports into STEP, STL, 3MF, DXF.

Oblikovati also supports generating technical drawings from your 3D models with annotations , like dimensions bound to your design.

It has a similar workflow like the commercial software as Autodesk Inventor & Fusion and SolidWorks.
