VectorForge — Licencja dożywotnia (Windows i Linux)

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.

Three ways. Every recording on this page is an unedited capture of the real software. The release notes show exactly what gets fixed and how fast. And the purchase is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee: buy it, use it for two weeks on your own parts, and if it isn't for you, email us for a full refund. That is a better trial than a crippled demo.

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.
