Skip the boring parts.
Design what makes yours unique.
Drop in the standard parts — holes, inserts, hinges, textures — from a library of SmartObjects, and spend your time on what's actually yours. A real parametric CAD, right in your browser.
News, releases & deep dives
Release notes, engineering write-ups and field notes from the Kapy team.
Three guided tutorials: learn KapyCAD by building the part
A tray that spins on its stand, a parametric Gridfinity baseplate and a herringbone gear with a D-shaft bore. You build them inside the editor, step by step, and no step counts until the geometry actually appears in your part. The Academy has a search box now too: ask in your own words and it takes you to the article.
Read the postDriving the editor: 39 articles with video, and a guided first design inside the app
We are opening the Learn path that was missing: seven reference sections on the editor's tools, with more than fifty clips of the real editor. And inside the app, a guided run that takes you from an empty scene to an STL ready to print.
ReleaseAug 4, 2026Introducing Smart Objects: the parts you place instead of modelling
A threaded hole that cuts a real ISO thread. A heat-set insert pocket sized to the insert you own. A texture that wraps a face. Smart Objects are parametric components you drop onto a part and keep tuning afterwards — and the engine behind them is now open to everyone, in beta.
ReleaseJul 17, 2026Introducing Workbench: your printer's real tolerances, built into the model
A calibrated part fits the first time. Workbench keeps your printers, nozzles, quality presets and filaments in one place, walks you through guided clearance and printability calibrations, and feeds those real numbers straight into the editor — so holes, fits and features are sized for the machine you'll actually print on.
ReleaseJul 8, 2026Hardware: the printer and the material decide half your design
A new guide in Kapy CAD's Learn hub: printers, filaments and resins, and the real tolerances your machine imposes. 30 articles —in English and Spanish— on why the number on the datasheet is never the number you print, and how to turn your own hardware into calibrated fits.

Getting around the editor
Where everything lives, why the toolbar keeps changing, and how a document is saved: the furniture you stop noticing after a week.
Files and documents
Where your models live, how one is created or brought in, and what the preview column tells you before you open anything.
Sketching
Every drawing tool on the sketch toolbar, what each one emits for you, and the snapping that quietly constrains as you draw.
Constraints and dimensions
What holds a drawing in place: the relations between its parts, the numbers that pin it down, and how to read a sketch that is not finished yet.
Your next part is already half-designed.
Start from a SmartObject, constrain to function, and ship. No installs, runs in the browser.
