Models are stored as editable .forge.js source that people or AI coding agents can modify, validate, inspect, and version alongside other project files.\n\nIts browser workbench and local CLI support solid and SDF modeling, sketches, assemblies, joints, collision and manufacturing checks, renders, and exports including STEP, STL, 3MF, BREP, SVG, and reports. It runs in the browser and provides CLI workflows on Windows, macOS, and Linux.\n\nA free plan covers personal, educational, evaluation, and open-source use. Commercial human-operated work requires Pro at $20 per month or $199 per year for each named user; automated, embedded, hosted, and AI-training workloads use custom Enterprise licensing.", "key_functions": "Code-first parametric modeling, AI-agent editing, solid and SDF modeling, assemblies and joints, validation and inspection, structural FEA, manufacturing and robotics export", "category": {"name": "AI-Assisted Design", "slug": "ai-assisted-design"}, "tags": [{"name": "3D", "slug": "3d"}, {"name": "AI", "slug": "ai"}, {"name": "Cloud", "slug": "cloud"}, {"name": "FEA", "slug": "fea"}, {"name": "Free", "slug": "free"}, {"name": "Manufacturing", "slug": "manufacturing"}, {"name": "Mechanical", "slug": "mechanical"}, {"name": "Parametric components", "slug": "parametric-components"}, {"name": "Simulation", "slug": "simulation"}, {"name": "Version Control", "slug": "version-control"}], "deployment_types": ["Hybrid"], "pricing_models": ["Free", "Subscription", "Quote-based"], "business_sizes": ["Small", "Mid-size", "Enterprise"], "website_url": "https://forgecad.io/", "company_name": "ForgeCAD", "platforms": "Browser, Windows, macOS, Linux", "latest_version": "", "pricing_tiers": [{"name": "Free", "price": null, "period": "", "description": "Personal, educational, evaluation, and open-source use with the full CAD editor, local projects, standard rendering, and exports.", "is_quote_based": false}, {"name": "Pro Monthly", "price": "20.00", "period": "per named user/month", "description": "Commercial human-operated CAD use, high-quality renders and captures, additional cloud storage, and production-workflow support.", "is_quote_based": false}, {"name": "Pro Annual", "price": "199.00", "period": "per named user/year", "description": "Annual billing for the Pro plan; the vendor lists an effective monthly cost of $16.58.", "is_quote_based": false}, {"name": "Enterprise", "price": null, "period": "", "description": "For automated backends, hosted or embedded workflows, AI training and evaluation, and application integrations.", "is_quote_based": true}], "updated_at": "2026-09-15T19:24:39.379Z"}
