VectorForge — Licencia de por vida (Windows y Linux)
VectorForge es un programa CAD 3D totalmente paramétrico que compras una sola vez. $49.99, sin suscripción, sin cuenta, sin nube, actualizaciones gratuitas de por vida. Windows 10/11 y Linux en x86-64 y ARM64 (funciona en una Raspberry Pi).
Boceto y restricciones. Líneas, rectángulos, polígonos, arcos, círculos, engranajes involutos. Un resolvedor de 15 restricciones que puedes arrastrar: horizontal, vertical, longitud, ángulo, paralelo, perpendicular, distancia, radio, alineado, tangente, sobre círculo, igual, fijo, colineal, anclado. Las restricciones horizontales y verticales se infieren mientras dibujas; las restricciones en conflicto se ponen rojas para que sepas cuál cambiar.
Modelado con sólidos reales. Extrusión, bolsillo, revolución, ranura, barrido, loft (recto o a lo largo de una guía), cáscara, chaflán, redondeo, espejo, patrones lineales y rotacionales, patrones de patrones, operaciones booleanas de unión / corte / intersección, sobre un núcleo manifold. Las roscas son geometría helicoidal real: agujeros roscados métricos ISO y espárragos, y roscas de tubería NPT según ASME B1.20.1 con la conicidad 1:16. Escribe M8x1.25 12 o 1/2 NPT y ahí está.
Crea ensamblajes. Ocho tipos de juntas se infieren de la geometría en la que haces clic: de revolución, deslizante, cilíndrica, esférica, plana, de tornillo, fija y de engranaje. Acciona y limita las juntas, luego toma cualquier pieza y el resolvedor de cinemática inversa mueve toda la cadena en tiempo real, en la GPU para ensamblajes grandes.
Simula mientras diseñas. Análisis de elementos finitos dentro del modelador: fija caras, aplica fuerzas en N, g o lb, añade gravedad, elige PLA, nailon, ABS, PC o aluminio, y visualiza el desplazamiento y el esfuerzo de von Mises en la pieza, señalizado frente al límite elástico, recalculado en cada edición.
Importación y exportación. Los archivos STEP y STL se importan como sólidos editables que puedes extruir, roscar y operar booleanamente. Exporta STL por pieza o por modelo completo. Los proyectos son archivos pequeños legibles por humanos en tu disco.
Rápido en lo que ya tienes. Visor y selección por GPU, cada resolvedor en cada núcleo de la CPU, una caché de características que reconstruye solo lo que cambió. Un tren de engranajes completo gira a 60 FPS en hardware de ocho años de antigüedad.
La licencia. Una persona, en todas las máquinas que posea, para siempre. Todo lo que diseñes es tuyo. Garantía de devolución de dinero de 14 días. Enlace de descarga y clave por correo electrónico en minutos.
What you are buying
The parts that decide whether a CAD package can do real mechanical work, all included.
Lines, rectangles, polygons, arcs, circles, involute gears and construction geometry. Fifteen constraint types, under-constrained sketches flagged, conflicts in red. Grab a point and the sketch moves exactly as far as the constraints allow.
Pad, pocket, revolve, groove, sweep, loft, shell, chamfer, fillet, mirror, linear and rotational pattern, boolean fuse / cut / intersect. On a manifold boolean kernel that does not leave slivers.
Tapped holes, threaded bosses and bores with true helical geometry. ISO metric to M64, NPT pipe threads to ASME B1.20.1 with the 1:16 taper. They print, they pattern, they survive booleans.
Revolute, slider, cylindrical, ball, planar, screw, fixed and gear joints inferred straight from geometry. Drive, limit, lock, ground. Drag a part and inverse kinematics moves the chain.
Fix faces, apply forces in N, g or lb, add gravity, pick a material. Displacement and von Mises stress on the part, max stress against yield, re-solved on every edit. GPU compute where there is GL 4.3, every CPU core otherwise.
Stable geometry references mean a fillet placed on copy 2 of a pattern stays on copy 2. Change anything, anywhere, and the rest rebuilds. Nothing is ever baked.
Imported bodies are editable: pad off their faces, pocket, thread, chamfer, fillet, shell, pattern and boolean them like anything drawn here. Export STL per part or whole model.
GPU viewport with GPU picking, every solver multithreaded, a feature cache that only rebuilds what changed. Real time on a laptop; usable on a Raspberry Pi.
Windows 10/11 as a zip, Linux as a single AppImage (Debian 12 / glibc 2.36 or newer, including Raspberry Pi OS and Armbian). No installer, no admin rights.
No account, no license server, no telemetry, no cloud. A small human-readable project file you can diff, back up and keep forever.
A key for every constraint, right-click menus everywhere, values typed in plain English: M6 10, 500g, 1/2 NPT 15. Backspace repeats. Esc gets you out.
Twelve automated suites run every build: geometry, threads, NPT, sweeps, lofts, shells, assemblies, FEA against beam theory, STEP round-trips, and every bug a customer has sent us.
Yes. $49.99 once. No subscription, no maintenance fee, no paid upgrade tier, no "pro" version hiding the good features. Every point release and every major version is included, for as long as VectorForge exists.
Yes. Download the full program and use it free for 14 days on Windows 10/11, Linux x86-64 or Linux ARM64. No account, no card, no email. If it earns its place, buy a license for $49.99 and keep it for good. Every recording on this page is also an unedited capture of the real software, and the release notes show what gets fixed and how fast. If you buy and change your mind within 14 days, email us for a full refund.
64-bit Windows 10 or 11, and 64-bit Linux down to Debian 12 (glibc 2.36 or newer) on x86-64 and ARM64, so Raspberry Pi 4/5, Rock Pi and similar boards work. It needs OpenGL 3.1; the optional GPU compute solvers use OpenGL 4.3 where available and fall back to every CPU core where not. There is no macOS build.
Capable enough to build a rocket nozzle with a pipe-threaded manifold, a six-axis arm or a meshing gearbox in a single file. Sketches with a 15-constraint solver; pad, pocket, revolve, groove, sweep, loft, shell, chamfer, fillet, mirror, patterns and booleans on a manifold kernel; metric and NPT threads as real geometry; a full parametric timeline. It is not a surfacing or sheet-metal package.
Eight joint types: revolute, slider, cylindrical, ball, planar, screw, fixed and gear. Joints are inferred from the geometry you click: a boss in a bore is a pin, two edges a slider. Drive and limit joints, lock them, ground a part, then grab anything and the inverse-kinematics solver moves the chain in real time, on the GPU for large assemblies.
Linear static analysis: fix faces, apply forces in N, g or lb, turn on gravity, choose PLA, PA-6, PA-12, ABS, PC, 6061 aluminum or type your own E, Poisson's ratio and yield. You get displacement and von Mises stress on the part, the maximum flagged red against yield, re-solved on every edit. It is built for "will this bracket hold?" during design. It is not nonlinear, thermal, dynamic or contact simulation.
Real. A tapped hole or threaded boss is true helical geometry swept along the pitch and combined through the boolean kernel. ISO metric from the coarse-pitch table or any pitch you type; NPT pipe threads to ASME B1.20.1 with the 1:16 taper, external and internal, 1/16" to 12". They export to STL, voxelise for the simulation, and survive patterns and fillets.
It imports STEP and STL as editable solid bodies and exports STL, per part or whole model. Your editable history is saved in the native .vforge format, a small human-readable text file. Formats added later are included in your license.
The viewport and picking run on the GPU. The boolean kernel, sketch solver, mesher, FEA and assembly solvers run across every CPU thread (and on GPU compute where available). A feature cache rebuilds only what changed. Nothing waits on a server. That is why a whole gear train turns at 60 FPS on eight-year-old hardware, and why it is usable on a Raspberry Pi.
No. There is no login, no license server to reach, no telemetry and no file sync. Your models stay on your drive and the software works fully offline, forever.
All of your own: desktop, laptop, the workstation at the shop, the Pi on the bench. The only rule is one license per person; you can't give copies to others.
Set the quantity on the product page and check out once. Each license is for one person on all of their machines. You receive one key per license by email.
$49.99. Windows and Linux, x86-64 and ARM64. Every future version included. 14-day refund if it isn't for you.
