No description of IRIMS yet.
Engineers who want to work on Linux have only a few native 3D CAD systems to choose from. SOLIDSO closes that gap: the parametric system runs natively on Linux, for example on Linux Mint, and concentrates on what is actually needed in everyday design work. SOLIDSO covers the usual workflow:...

As answered by people managing IRIMS and SOLIDSO.
SOLIDSO's answer:
SOLIDSO is a parametric 3D CAD built exclusively for Linux. It is simple, affordable and developed together with its users, with sketches, 3D parts, sheet metal, assemblies and drawings in one tool. A free edition is available.
SOLIDSO's answer:
Choose SOLIDSO if you work on Linux and want CAD that gets out of your way. Most designers use only a small part of what large CAD suites offer, yet they pay for all of it, often with costly maintenance contracts. SOLIDSO concentrates on the everyday workflow: parametric sketches with dimensions and relations, 3D parts, sheet metal, assemblies and drawings with an editable title block.
Native on Linux: built only for Linux, so you can work without Windows or a cloud account. Affordable: low launch prices, fixed until the end of each licence term, even if prices rise later. Easy to try: a free edition is available. Shaped by users: a small team from Germany and Austria develops it with user feedback, so your needs can influence the next versions.
SOLIDSO's answer:
SOLIDSO’s primary audience is people who design physical parts and work on Linux, or want to switch to it: mechanical designers and small engineering offices, small manufacturers and workshops, makers and 3D-printing enthusiasts, and students and educators. They need a reliable tool for everyday work (parts, sheet metal, assemblies and drawings), not a large suite with advanced simulation or product-lifecycle features. Many of them care about low cost, independence from US cloud services and security, which Linux offers. SOLIDSO is built for them: simple to learn, affordable, and shaped by user feedback.
SOLIDSO's answer:
SOLIDSO grew out of a practical problem: engineers who work on Linux have only a few native 3D CAD systems to choose from, and the large Windows systems come with high licence costs and maintenance contracts.
So a small team from Germany and Austria set out to build a CAD system for Linux only: simple, affordable and focused on what most designers need every day. The company behind it is SolidTechnics Ltd., based in Hong Kong.
SOLIDSO is developed together with its users. Prices are intentionally low at launch to attract active users and to fund further development. Prices will probably be adjusted in the future, but every order placed at today’s price stays fixed until the end of its term.
