Dune 3D is a parametric 3D CAD application in an early stage of development.
Move around the 3D viewport either with mouse, touchpad, trackpoint or touchscreen.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Sketch and constrain in 2D and 3D. Start your design by drawing lines, arcs and circles using the versatile draw contour tool. Use and reuse sketches made in 2D to create 3D objects using extrusion or lathe groups.
- Use constraints in 3D to define the length and direction of extrusions.
- Add chamfers and fillets – make your models more pretty by applying fillets and chamfers to edges.
- Import STEP models to reference printed circuit boards and off-the-shelf hardware in your document.
- Export high-quality STEP and STL files.
- Pixel-precision zooming and panning using touchpads or trackpoints, you can use touchscreen gestures such as pinch-to-zoom
- Cross-platform software – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
