3D Solid Modeling 3D Solid Modeling

nanoCAD’s 3D Solid Modeling module extends the nanoCAD platform with direct and parametric modeling. It is designed to construct 3D assemblies with 3D constraints and xrefs, and to handle sheet metal modeling.
You can get a license for 1 or 3 years.
Commercial, Educational and Trial licenses are available.

What you get

Comprehensive Tool Set of nanoCAD platform

nanoCAD platform provides you with a full set of basic and advanced design tools for creating and editing 2D/3D objects. It offers multiple drawing and editing methods for most geometric elements. nanoCAD platform is the base on which you build a more powerful CAD system to your specifications.

Advanced 3D Tool Set

The 3D Solid Modeling Module offers users the rigor of parametric modeling and the freedom of direct modeling, conveniently packaged together in one environment. Parametric modeling builds 3D geometry piece by piece, with formula-based parameters that specify and change sizes of and distances between parts. Direct modeling offers a what-you-see-is-what-you-get approach in which designers edit 3D models by pushing and pulling faces and edges.

Main features

Face alignment
Face alignment
nanoCAD’s PressPull tool allows you to align selected model elements. Simply select a face that needs to be aligned and then click on the object to be aligned with.
Extrusion
Extrusion
nanoCad’s PressPull tool is very useful when handling 3d objects with a large number of closed contours. Run the command, hover over a contour and the system captures the object - it highlights its edges and perform the extrude or indent.
Direct modelling
Direct modelling
Create conceptual projects of any form and complexity with nanoCAD. Visualize the project; design interactively with 3D models by pulling and pushing.
Parameter Manager
Parameter Manager
nanoCAD offers modelling of smart objects with geometric and dimensional dependencies and with the ability to edit the product through the Parameter Manager.
Support for various 3D formats
Support for various 3D formats
nanoCAD can import and convert the most common 3D formats (C3D, IGS, SAT, STEP, STL, JT, WRL, X_B, X_T) and export too to allow you to exchange information with most CAD systems.
Visualization
Visualization
With nanoCAD you can add realistic visualization by applying real materials to the projects, which is of great help when demonstrating your drawings; perform 3D walks and fly around the models.
Geometric Constraints
Geometric Constraints
Use nanoCAD to create dependent geometry to models and put together complex assemblies from individual components by controlling the parameters.
History of 3D constructions
History of 3D constructions
nanoCAD’s 3D history command lets you track and manage changes in the 3D model. Use “end of part” to roll back the model to a certain stage of its creation and change the actions performed.

About Add-on Modules

nanoCAD was previously split into several products, each requiring a separate download. If you needed, for example, nanoCAD Construction and nanoCAD Mechanica, then you had to buy a license for each product at full cost, and then download both of them.

As of nanoCAD 21, you can acquire any module you are interested in, paying only the price of the module itself, and then downloading the module. You run all purchased modules with a single nanoCAD license.
The nanoCAD platform consists of the following add-on modules:

  • 3D Solid Modeling – for advanced 3D modeling
  • Construction – for architecture and construction
  • Mechanica - for 2D and 3D mechanical design
  • Raster – for advanced editing scanned images
  • Topoplan – for topographical reliefs and mapping
When you install nanoCAD with an add-on module like Mechanica and Construction, additional shortcuts are created on the desktop:

One shortcut is for launching nanoCAD with 3D Solid Modeling, Raster and Topoplan modules
Additional shortcuts are created for launching nanoCAD with each add-on module you licensed, such as a shortcut for Mechanica and another for Construction.

Construction and Mechanica cannot be run at the same time.
You can add professional modules to the nanoCAD platform. Just go to your personal account and select the product(s) you need. Then click the "Manage license" button and add missing modules to the cart. The price of the module for a 1-year subscription is calculated based on the time remaining until its end.
