Quick answer

Maker 3D CAD - the middle ground between Tinkercad and FreeCAD

Materializr is open-source 3D CAD for makers - the middle ground between dead-simple tools like Tinkercad and full professional suites like FreeCAD. Enough genuine solid modeling to make real parts, without a steep learning curve, a subscription, or an account.

Sketch on a plane, pull it into a solid (extrude, revolve, loft, sweep), fillet and chamfer, run boolean operations, cut threads, and edit any step of the history later - even after closing and reopening the project.

Sketches export to SVG at 1:1 millimeters for laser cutters and 2.5D CNC. It also imports STEP and IGES, and exports STEP, STL, IGES and glTF.

The geometry kernel is OpenCASCADE - real B-rep solids, not meshes. The interface is touch-capable on Android, designed for tablets and larger screens (on a small phone the panels and toolbars are cramped). File open/save use the system document picker (Storage Access Framework); no broad storage permission is requested.

Young software built quickly, so expect rough edges. Operations validate their results and refuse rather than silently produce garbage, so a failed action leaves your model untouched - but save often, and please report bugs.

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
