modeling3dparts- draw with extrudes, revolves, helix creation, and Boolean (union / difference /
intersection) operations
modeling2dparts- draw the part as a single section, and export DXF, PDF, SVG; use 3d assembly to
verify fit
3d-printedparts- export the STL or other triangle mesh expected by most 3d printers
preparingCAMdata- export 2d vector art for a waterjet machine or laser cutter; or generate STEP or
STL, for import into third-party CAM software for machining
mechanismdesign- use the constraint solver to simulate planar or spatial linkages, with pin, ball, or
slide joints
planeandsolidgeometry- replace hand-solved trigonometry and spreadsheets with a live dimensioned
drawing
