minus-squareAux@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoNot really. Blender is NOT a CAD. It doesn’t ensure that your bodies are solid, it doesn’t provide any analysis tools, it doesn’t support working with blueprints/sketches, it’s not parametric, etc. Basically, it doesn’t do anything CAD at all.
