Why BricsCAD Mechanical

Model Freely
The power of 3D Direct Modeling in BricsCAD lets you choose how you work.
Design Efficiently
Create parametric components from constrained 3D solids, and use them across your designs.
Use Any Data
Import data from popular MCAD formats, such as Solidworks, Inventor, and Creo.
Automated Drafting
The best, most familiar workflow for turning your mechanical designs into production drawings.
truly advanced sheet metal
Create sheet metal part designs that are resilient
BricsCAD is free of the conceptual errors that plague history-based MCAD modeling systems. Your designs can be modified without the worry of failure, because we combine the freedom of direct modeling with the power of feature-based design.
true engineering freedom
A complete mechanical design toolkit, all in .dwg.
Regardless of what people may believe, the .dwg file format is most suitable for the future of mechanical CAD design.

Parametric Components
Create parametric components from 3D solids. Copy & paste them across assemblies.

3D Assembly Modeling
The power of Direct Modeling in BricsCAD lets you choose how you work.

3D Drawing Compare
Compare two 3D models and see the differences both graphically and in the Mechanical Browser.

Free-form Modeling
A versatile, integrated toolset combines 2D, 3D, curve, surface, solid and parametric for fast and easy shape creation, evaluation and editing.

Automatic Drawing View Creation
Automatically generate associative orthographic and standard isometric views of 3D solid models.

BOM Generation
Generate an associative Bill of Material automatically, and place it anywhere in your drawing.
BricsCAD Communicator
Reuse 3D CAD data from other systems directly in BricsCAD Mechanical
BricsCAD Communicator seamlessly imports CAD & PMI data from all the major CAD programs.
