## Overview

### Key benefits of OwlCAD

Change a design without starting over
Every dimension stays editable. Change a wall from 2 mm to 3 mm and the model rebuilds, with a timeline you can step back through and edit.

Catch print problems before they reach the printer
A print check flags overhangs, thin walls and non-watertight geometry before you export, and parts can be hollowed, laid flat and fitted to your printer's build volume.

Parts that fit together
Clearance presets size press, slip and loose fits for FDM printers, so holes, slots and joints are drawn at the size they need to print at.

Skip modelling the hard parts by hand
33 parametric generators build gears and gear trains, threads and fasteners, enclosures, Gridfinity storage, bearings, hinges and springs from plain parameters.

Nothing to install or deploy
OwlCAD runs in any modern browser, including Chromebooks, so there is no software to install, license or update on each machine.

Works with the rest of your toolchain
Import STL, 3MF, OBJ, STEP and OpenSCAD; export STL, 3MF, OBJ, GLB, STEP, DXF and SVG for slicers, laser cutters and other CAD tools.

Keep ownership of your work
Projects are private by default, and every plan, Free included, carries full commercial rights to what you design.

AI when you want it
Pro adds AI generation, chat-based editing and AI-agent access over MCP for tools such as Claude Code and Cursor, and lets you use your own AI provider key without spending credits.

Built for classrooms and teams too
Shared workspaces, free classrooms with managed pseudonymous student accounts and teacher-only AI, and school licensing with a pooled credit budget.

## About the vendor

- **Company**: OwlCAD

## Commercial Context

- **Starting Price**: USD 12.00
- **Pricing model**: Flat Rate (Free version available)
- **Pricing Details**: OwlCAD has a free plan and one paid plan, OwlCAD Pro.

Free ($0, no time limit): the full parametric editor, every import and export format (STL, 3MF, OBJ, GLB, STEP, DXF, SVG and OpenSCAD), print-readiness tools, assemblies, cloud projects and sharing. Projects are private by default, and you keep full commercial rights to everything you design. No credit card is needed, and you can start designing without an account. Classrooms are also free.

Pro ($12 per month, or $120 per year, two months free): everything in Free, plus AI features. Pro includes 20 AI credits each month for generating models from a description, editing a model by chat, and AI-assisted customizing. A generation uses one or more credits depending on the AI model chosen, and monthly credits reset each billing period. Pro also lets you connect an AI agent such as Claude Code or Cursor over MCP, which uses no credits, and bring your own AI provider key so generations run on your own account without spending credits.

Credit packs: Pro users who need more AI credits can buy one-time packs of 5 credits for $5, 10 credits for $8, or 25 credits for $15. Pack credits never expire.

Billing: payments are processed by Stripe. There are no long-term contracts, and you can manage or cancel your subscription at any time from your account. Payments are non-refundable except where required by law.
