Show HN: Replicad, the Library for CAD in the Browser

• OpenJSCAD.org

  12 2,521 6.0 JavaScript

  JSCAD is an open source set of modular, browser and command line tools for creating parametric 2D and 3D designs with JavaScript code. It provides a quick, precise and reproducible method for generating 3D models, and is especially useful for 3D printing applications.

  

this looks very nice. i think i like the ergonomics of your library... the "sketch on a plane then extrude" workflow feels nice and familiar.

could you compare and contrast replicad to JSCAD (https://openjscad.xyz)?

the examples in your docs are quite sluggish to load in Safari, but the workbench is very snappy!

I'm very glad to discover this. I'll be evaluating shortly if I could/should integrate it in my procedural design tool Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com )
