#### Snap blocks together like a game. No complicated CAD to learn.

Design your own 3D-printable parts by snapping blocks together. GameCAD makes it easy to build custom enclosures, brackets, organizers, and more - without learning complicated CAD software.

Start from scratch or customize an example project. Set precise dimensions, reshape corners, and use generators to create practical parts. Export your design as an STL file for your slicer.

This is the free demo of GameCAD.

Try it out, explore the workflow, and learn more about the upcoming full version for desktop and iPad at <https://gamecad.io>.

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install GameCAD

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
