MECHCAD is a 3D parametric mechanical CAD application developed and published by MET Mechatronics Designed Co., Ltd. Designed as a native Windows application, it serves mechanical engineers and designers who require parametric solid modeling capabilities within a desktop environment. The software's core purpose is to support mechanical design workflows through sketch-based part modeling, allowing users to build geometry from two-dimensional profiles that can be modified parametrically as design requirements evolve. A feature history system tracks the sequence of modeling operations, enabling users to revisit and adjust earlier design decisions without rebuilding components from scratch. Beyond individual parts, MECHCAD provides assembly functionality with mates, which permits multiple components to be positioned and constrained relative to one another so that complex mechanical systems can be constructed, evaluated, and documented as integrated units. Interoperability is addressed through STEP import and export support, facilitating the exchange of 3D geometry with other CAD platforms, suppliers, and downstream manufacturing or analysis tools that rely on this widely adopted neutral file format. This makes the application suitable for use cases spanning product development, mechanical component design, assembly planning, and collaborative engineering environments where data must move between different software systems. Within the broader product landscape, MECHCAD belongs to the mechanical computer-aided design category and forms part of the MET CAD suite, where it operates alongside MCAD2026, a companion application focused on 2D drafting. Together, these products address both three-dimensional parametric modeling and traditional two-dimensional documentation needs. The current release of MECHCAD is version 2026.6.27, which follows a date-oriented versioning scheme, and according to available catalog records there is one listed version of the software at this time.
