SolveSpace
SolveSpace is a small, fast program for designing 3D parts by sketching shapes and setting exact measurements. It is simpler than FreeCAD and good for mechanical parts.
How hard it is to start using it. Easy: install it like a normal app, or use it in your browser. Advanced: you run it on your own server, use the command line, or it is a tool for developers.
