Parametric 3d modeling software is essential to delivering 3d modeling experiences today

Picture

You can support development by contributing to our OpenCollective 

Parametric CAD technologies and stable BREP kernel are core requirements in today's world for deploying useful 3d modeling/editing experiences. 
The web browse and cloud centric computing models of delivering application experiences to users is a unique opportunity. The browser is truly cross platform and traditional desktop programs are rapidly being replaced with web apps that are always up to date and simpler for user adoption. 

Today we provide for developers JSketcher, an example CAD application along with a robust BREP kernel that is ready to be deployed to any modern web browser. JSketchers BREP kernel is built on top of OpenCASCADE and provides the friendly javascript APIs needed to build a full blown CAD application. 

History and Sketch Based 3d Modeling

We provide a robust example CAD application with a solid design philosophy. Modeling tools that are history based and parametric allow for definition of model geometry that can be updated preserving design intent. Examples of feature dialogs and BREP application interfaces can accelerate developing a specialized CAD application targeting today's latest web browsers.

JSON based model definition and data structures

JSON is a robust way to store and manage data using JavaScript in today's browsers. 
Feature histories and parametric sketch data are all stored in JSON making it easy to interface with your own JavaScript functionality.

Web-assembly BREP engine 

Performance of JavaScript has increased over the years but still can not provide speed needed for performing the complex math and optimization of surface geometry. We provide clear and well defined interfaces to track features and abstract mapping identities of surfaces, wires and edges. Adding new "feature" command to pipeline is straightforward and allows for encapsulation of each step added to the part history. This allows developers to get down to the business of developing new novel functionality wile taking advantage of the structured part history, visualization and out of the box UI controls to develop feature wizard dialogs.

2D Constraint solver 

2d sketcher using a completely JavaScript implementation of constraint solving allows for geometry to be created and consumed for extrude, loft, revolve operations, ect. 

Example of both purely 2d constraint solver and 3d embedded 2d constraint solver provided.
