<a href="http://solvespace.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SolveSpace</a> is a libre and open-source parametric computer-aided design application that uses a NURBS geometric kernel, allowing it to represent curved surfaces exactly.

As originally released, SolveSpace was far ahead almost every other FLOSS CAD by virtue of its parametric nature, exact internal representation of curves and a codebase easy to work with. (The only other FLOSS parametric CAD that uses a NURBS representation, including NURBS booleans, is FreeCAD.) While it was already suitable for practical work, it had a much greater unrealized potential.
