Made by makers, for makers

One design studio for everything you make.

Fireball Designer is an AI-forward, all-in-one design app — parametric 3D, CNC/plasma toolpaths, vector artwork, and clean technical documents, in one fast native Mac app you actually own. Not a browser tab. Not a subscription you can't escape.

Free forever · one project · macOS 14+ · iPad coming soon

Four workspaces, one file.

Model, cut, draw, and document a part without exporting between five different apps. Add the workspaces you need; the ones you don't stay out of the way.

3D Designer

Parametric solids, sketches, an editable feature history, STEP/STL/3MF. The default workspace.

Shipping

2D · CAM

Offsets, tabs, nesting and a machine-independent toolpath — starting with 2D plasma and a Langmuir post.

Coming soon

Vector Designer

Curves, booleans, a predefined shape library and true raster-to-SVG for signs, labels and inlays.

Coming soon

Technical Documents

Dimensioned drawings, assembly steps and printable instructions generated straight from the model.

Coming soon

AI that operates the app

Design with an assistant that can actually build.

Fireball Sidecar rides along in a docked panel. Ask it to inspect a body, add a feature, generate an SVG or an OpenSCAD part, or explain a rebuild error — and it runs the same real, undoable modeling commands you do. Not written instructions to follow by hand.

Sidecar is a separate, optional add-on with its own free tier. Fireball Designer works completely with the panel closed.

You

Add a 6 mm fillet to every outside edge, then a countersunk hole at each corner.

Sidecar

→ filleted 14 edges (r 6) · added 4 countersinks (M4) · rebuilt in 0.3 s. Undo available.

Fireball Community Warehouse

Sharing is caring. Publish a project straight from the app, browse what other makers built, remix it, and post your own builds — with the print settings that actually worked.
