ModelEdge Lite

ModelEdge Lite is a free sub-division and parametric hybrid CAD. Users can switch between parametric constraints for mechanical parts or subdiv-based modeling for organic shapes. An “edge loop editor” helps refine mesh topology. The software exports to STEP or OBJ. ModelEdge’s partial parametric approach suits advanced hobbyists or small studios wanting flexible modeling styles in one program—mechanical constraints for precise parts and subdiv for more fluid designs. Basic collaboration tools let multiple users comment on the model’s feature tree.
