MECHCAD 2026 roadmap

1. Where it started

   Built from MET’s own work

   MET started MECHCAD to design its own machines: parts, assemblies of thousands of components, production drawings and CAM in one program.

2. Today

   MECHCAD 2026 · v2026.87

   MECHCAD 2026 ships in three editions — Standard, Expert and Premium — as a direct download with a 30-day trial, and is used daily by MET engineers. What’s new in 2026.87

3. Where it is going

   What we are working towards

   • Very large assemblies that open, orbit and edit as smoothly as small ones
   • Production-grade drawings with automatic BOM and balloons from the model
   • Milling and turning CAM for real shop work, with posts for the machines used in Thailand
   • Work with SolidWorks, Alibre and STEP files without round-tripping
