We tried Version 0.16.2 of SolidCraft, and an un-numbered version of Purrametric, accessed on Oct 19, 2026, but these things are changing fast!

Want to try them out for yourself?
Try SolidCraft here: https://solidcraft.io/ (Fusion clone)
Try Purrametric here: https://purrametric.deepmagic.de/ (SolidWorks clone)

We also mentioned a pair of AutoCAD clones:
CADCraft https://getartcraft.com/apps/cadcraft and
OpenCADStudio https://www.opencadstudio.com/
