Fast 2D parametric vector sketching for 3D printing
Create constrained 2D SVG profiles without waiting for heavy desktop CAD to boot. Edit dimensions in the browser, then export vector paths for extrusion and modeling workflows.
A lighter front door for exact 2D outlines
Anchorsmith is not a replacement for a full 3D CAD assembly. It is a fast way to draw, constrain, and export the 2D vector profiles that many printed parts start from.
Sketch the profile
Draw the face, bracket, token, label, or panel outline as a real vector path instead of a screenshot or raster trace.
Constrain what matters
Keep key edges parallel, perpendicular, coincident, equal length, or dimension-driven so edits do not break the profile.
Export SVG for CAD
Export clean SVG for tools that can import 2D paths before extrusion, including Fusion 360, Blender, Tinkercad, and slicer-adjacent workflows.
Type one dimension. Keep the sketch coherent.
Use driving dimensions and geometric relations to keep a sketch editable as the size changes. That is useful for brackets, enclosure plates, trays, labels, and flat profiles that get extruded or imported into another tool.
profile width = 64mm hole spacing = 48mm corner radius = 4mm left edge || right edge top edge perpendicular left edge
