About
Wikifactory is a web platform for exploring open engineering projects and related documentation. The landing page describes access to more than 20,000 projects, CAD files, project documentation, articles, topics, and research resources, with links to view projects and browse community content.
The pricing page separates the product into a free Discovery plan and paid CAD ROOMS plans. Discovery includes open project exploration, knowledge resources, topic browsing, viewing CAD in almost any format, submitting issues or feedback, and applying to host a public project. CAD ROOMS adds private workspaces, version control, check-in/check-out, roles and permissions, ECO management, release management, audit logs, CAD viewer support for 35+ formats, annotations, and measurements, with a 14-day trial.
- 30,000+ projects to explore
- Open project and topic browsing
- CAD viewing for almost any format
- Public project hosting application
- 14-day CAD ROOMS trial
- 35+ CAD format viewer support
Free Tier Value
This free tier is perpetual and does not require a credit card, but it is clearly capped to public discovery and learning rather than private team workflows. Compared with the cheapest paid option at about $65/month per editor, the free offering covers roughly a third of the practical value, so about $20/month is a fair estimate.
What's included in the free tier
- Discovery is free for exploring projects and resources.
- Access to 30,000+ projects for learning and exploration.
- Access to open projects in the public community.
- Ability to browse topics of interest.
- Ability to view CAD files of almost any format.
- Ability to submit issues or feedback.
- Ability to apply to host a project in the public community.
