SolveSpace is a free and open-source 2D/ 3D constraint -based parametric computer-aided design (CAD) software that supports basic 2D and 3D constructive solid geometry modeling. It is a constraint-based parametric modeler with simple mechanical simulation capabilities. Version 2.1 and onward runs on Windows, Linux and macOS.
Geometric constraint solving is constraint satisfaction in a computational geometry setting, which has primary applications in computer aided design. [1] A problem to be solved consists of a given set of geometric elements and a description of geometric constraints between the elements, which could be non-parametric (tangency, horizontality, coaxiality, etc) or parametric (like distance, angle ...
FreeCAD is a general-purpose parametric 3D computer-aided design (CAD) modeler and a building information modeling (BIM) software application with finite element method (FEM) support. [2] It is intended for mechanical engineering product design but also expands to a wider range of uses around engineering, such as architecture or electrical ...
SketchUp was developed by startup company @Last Software of Boulder, Colorado, co-founded in 1999 by Brad Schell and Joe Esch. [5] [6] SketchUp was created in August 2000 as a 3D content creation tool and was envisioned as a software program for design professionals. [3]

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set that runs on Windows, MacOS, BSD, Haiku, and Linux. It is used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and, formerly, video games.
In 3D computer graphics, ray tracing is a technique for modeling light transport for use in a wide variety of rendering algorithms for generating digital images. On a spectrum of computational cost and visual fidelity, ray tracing-based rendering techniques, such as ray casting, recursive ray tracing, distribution ray tracing, photon mapping ...
Constructive solid geometry allows a modeler to create a complex surface or object by using Boolean operators to combine simpler objects, [1] potentially generating visually complex objects by combining a few primitive ones. [2][3] In 3D computer graphics and CAD, CSG is often used in procedural modeling. CSG can also be performed on polygonal ...
