Dune 3D: Open-Source Parametric 3D CAD Application for 3D Printing Projects
By

An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
Dune 3D is an open-source parametric 3D CAD application created to address dissatisfaction with existing open-source CAD tools like FreeCAD and Solvespace. The developer created it specifically for designing 3D-printed enclosures for electronics projects, citing issues with modal sketching, complex workflows, and lack of modern UI in existing solutions. The application supports STEP import/export, fillets, chamfers, and aims to provide a more intuitive, non-modal workflow with better user experience.

So why another open-source 3D CAD application when FreeCAD and Solvespace exist? My primary use case for 3D CAD is designing 3D-printed enclosures for my electronics projects.
While FreeCAD technically does everything I need, the way it's implemented isn't quite to my liking. My biggest pain points with it are the modal sket
I often found myself procrastinating designing the enclosure and attributed that to my dissatisfaction with the available open source 3D CAD applications.
