DSLCAD is a programming language & interpreter for building 3D models.

Inspired by OpenSCAD, it has a language and 3D viewer to simplify the modeling experience.

FAQ

Why is this different from OpenSCAD?

DSLCAD aims to build upon the formula that was established by OpenSCAD. It is still functional in approach and has a more limited scope (no text editor). It has a viewer for rapid part development and a CLI for automation.

 

It offers some novel ideas such as:

  • chamfer and fillet operators to simplify part creation
  • the ability to create multiple parts (3D models) from a single file
  • object style properties to access variables my_gear.radius
  • top to bottom readability using pipes (the -> operator) to reduce nesting complexity
  • a single binary per platform for portability
  • focused workflow with the aim of using the 2D first then 3D part design flow
  • written in Rust to make it easy to build and contribute to
