Varde CAD

Experimental parametric CAD in Rust, for the desktop and the browser.

Start Varde GitHub

Runs in your browser with WebGL2. Designs are kept in the browser's own storage; sample designs to try are on its start page.

Varde is a parametric 3D CAD application: parts are built from constrained sketches and editable features. It runs natively and in the browser.

Experimental. Early work in progress; it may lose your work.

Unstable file format. .vrdp files may not open in other versions.

Vibe coded. Nearly all code is written by AI agents, steered by a human.

Features

Constrained sketches with snapping, typed sizes and dimensions that take expressions with units (1 in + 3 mm), solved as you edit.
Sketch tools: trim, extend, offset, mirror, fillet and chamfer, and projecting model geometry into a sketch, kept in step as the model changes.
Extrudes and revolves that make, join, cut or intersect bodies, in an editable timeline, on planes or flat faces.
Combining, moving, mirroring, patterning, aligning and scaling bodies.
Exact solids: rational quadratic patches with conic edges, so planes, arcs, cylinders and cones are exact and booleans are robust.
Measuring faces, edges, points and bodies, and the distance and angle between two.
3MF export for 3D printing.
