Design
Create any shape easily using BricsCAD’s powerful 3D Direct Modeler. Free from the limitations of history-based systems, BricsCAD’s Direct Modeler treats native and imported geometry the same way.
“If you’re an engineer who is used to working in 2D, it is much easier to start working in 3D with BricsCAD than with any other tool, because you can just follow the same intuitive pattern.”

Hristo Guentchev, Managing Director at Prototyp
