Atech Atelier 0.1.0 (preview)

Correction (2026-10-04): please use 0.1.1. This 0.1.0 binary's notices (About box, NOTICE, CREDITS.md) label FreeCAD as "LGPL-2.1-or-later"; FreeCAD itself states its licence as "LGPL2+" (GNU LGPL version 2 or any later version), and its copyright banner reads "(C) 2001-2026 FreeCAD contributors". 0.1.0 also lacks several licence texts and does not carry its corresponding source. 0.1.1 corrects the credits, ships every required licence text, and publishes the full corresponding source with the release.

Atech Atelier 0.1.0 — first public preview. Describe a part in the chat and an agent builds it as a real, measured solid in FreeCAD. Powered by FreeCAD 1.1.3.

You also need Claude Code

The chat's agent is Claude Code, installed and logged in on your machine (it is not bundled). Without it Atelier works as plain FreeCAD and tells you how to install it. What the agent receives from your document is described in the README's privacy section.

What's in this preview

• Chat → CAD: the agent writes a parametric model, checks and measures it in a sandbox, and the live preview appears in seconds.
• Atech modules: seat Atech modules on the 14-port board and build enclosures around them.
• Each document keeps its own chat; edits continue the existing design.

Known issues

• The window title shows FreeCAD's version (1.1.3) rather than 0.1.0.
• Dark mode: the link colour in the Credits window is hard to read.
• The AppImage is not signed yet.
