The record

Product: Materializr is open-source parametric 3D CAD for makers, built on the OpenCASCADE kernel.
Sketching: Sketch tools include inference snapping, optional dimensions and constraints, SVG import, text outlines and reference images.
Solid modeling: Modeling tools include push/pull, extrusion, lathe, revolve, loft, booleans, fillet, chamfer, shell, patterns and direct face editing.
Threads and projection: It supports validated internal and external screw threads and engraving or embossing sketches onto flat or curved faces.
File formats: It imports and exports STEP, IGES and BREP, imports STL, exports STL, glTF, OBJ and 3MF, and supports SVG and DXF exchange for sketches.
Editable history: Projects retain an editable operation history after saving and reopening, with auto-saved version snapshots and crash recovery.
AI integrations: The built-in AI Assistant accepts a user-provided key for Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenAI-compatible endpoints, including local Ollama and LM Studio servers.
Privacy: The maker says local AI endpoints can be used so that nothing has to leave the user's machine.
Security and reliability: The maker says operations validate results and refuse bad geometry rather than corrupting the model, while also advising users to save often because the software is young and may have bugs.
Platforms: Downloads are listed for Linux, macOS, Windows, iPad and Android; the site describes tablet layouts for iPad and Android tablets.
Platform limits: The Linux AppImage requires glibc 2.38 or newer, and the macOS release is Apple Silicon only and ad-hoc signed rather than notarized.
Support: The project points users to Discord for questions and community chat and asks users to submit bug reports for unexpected behavior.
Audience: The maker describes Materializr as a middle ground for people who find beginner CAD tools too limiting and professional CAD tools too heavy.
