Partwright

What Partwright is
Partwright is a browser-based parametric CAD tool for making printable 3D models with code or AI agents. Its hybrid modeling supports JavaScript, OpenSCAD, BREP solids through OpenCASCADE, voxel modeling, and signed-distance fields, along with assembly design. The editor includes a no-code Character Creator, image-to-relief tools, viewport painting, measurement, cross-sections, and model quality controls. It imports .partwright.json, JavaScript, OpenSCAD .scad, STL, STEP, image, and .vox files. Exports include 3MF, STL, OBJ, GLB, and STEP for BREP sessions. The built-in assistant supports hosted AI providers, custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and local WebGPU models. Models, code, sessions, versions, notes, annotations, colors, and attached images stay in the user's browser rather than being uploaded to Partwright. The free plan is for non-commercial use; commercial use is not permitted under its license. Generated geometry may be wrong or unsuitable for manufacturing, so models should be inspected and validated before use.
Who it suits
Partwright suits people creating printable models who want browser-based code, AI-assisted, or hybrid modeling tools. It is also relevant to users who need assembly design and a range of import and export formats, provided their use is non-commercial under the free plan.
What it does well
- Runs in a web browser and offers a programmatic API.
- Supports assembly design and several modeling approaches.
- Imports and exports a broad range of formats.
- Models and session materials stay in the user's browser.
What to know first
- Free plan does not permit commercial use.
- Generated geometry may be unsuitable for manufacturing.
- JavaScript and OpenSCAD code runs with page capabilities.
- AI provider costs are the user's responsibility.
Limits
The Free plan costs nothing for non-commercial use; commercial use is not permitted under its license. Cloud collaboration is unavailable, and AI-provider usage can create costs for users supplying their own connections.

As partwrightstudio.com lists them, read 11 Oct 2026. The maker's own page has the final word.
Getting started
- Open Partwright in a web browser
- Choose code, an AI assistant, or the no-code editor
- Import a supported model or start a new session
- Connect a listed AI provider or local WebGPU model if needed
- Create and validate the geometry
- Export a supported file format or share a read-only URL
Verdict
Partwright combines browser-based parametric CAD with multiple modeling approaches, AI integrations, and a broad set of file formats. Check the non-commercial license condition and validate geometry before relying on a model.
Questions
What does the Free plan cost?
