SolidCraft 0.42 is out! 🧩 solidcraft.io/ - KiCad PCB import - Cell Grid: cut hexagon, square, triangle or circle cell patterns into a part - Plugins get their own menu entries and ribbon buttons - Clearance holes in the Hole dialog, plus standard steel sizes for Frames - Faster fillets, revolves and sweeps on big parts, and smoother orbiting of large assemblies

SolidCraft 0.41 is out ⚙️ and it has PLUGINS solidcraft.io - Plugins: install from a .zip, run from the Plugins menu - First plugin: an involute gear generator - Assembly Constrain dialog: Mate, Flush or Distance - Snap points in placement, joints and sketches - Fillets and STEP imports hold up on real parts Plugins will continue to evolve and improve over the coming days

SolidCraft 0.40 is out 🪩 solidcraft.io We swapped the entire geometry kernel. Every boolean, fillet, shell, sweep and loft now runs on solidcore, our own B-rep kernel in safe Rust. - Fillets that used to fail now build: variable rounds, three rounds meeting in a corner, Mitre and Swept corners - New mesher: ~15× faster, and a box is 12 triangles instead of 124 - A plate with 50,000 holes meshes in under 9 seconds - STEP: one reader, more files open, and a bad face no longer costs you the part - Cancel actually stops the kernel mid-operation - Assemblies: place parts by Mate, Flush or Distance - Notes pinned to the model, sweep along a body's edge, GLB export - Much more...

SolidCraft 0.40.0 release candidate is out 🦾 This is the big one: SolidCraft now runs on solidcore, a new pure-Rust geometry kernel. Every boolean, fillet, shell and thread goes through it.
