ZeroCAD

The first product of Restframe Software.

ZeroCAD is a parametric 3D CAD program for mechanical parts. It is built on its own exact geometry kernel (B-rep), written in Rust, and runs on Windows.

  • Its own kernel Exact geometry instead of triangle meshes, no licensed third-party kernel.
  • Accuracy before performance Whatever is measured, saved or exported is exact or stays within a measured error bound.
  • Open exchange STEP AP242 and AP214, STL, 3MF, drawings as PDF and DXF.
  • No account Works offline, without telemetry.
