Overview

JSCAD is an open-source framework for creating 2D and 3D designs using JavaScript code. Architecturally, it is built upon a modular library system that allows for the creation of complex geometric shapes through Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) and Boundary Representation (B-Rep). By 2026, it has solidified its position as the industry-standard tool for developers building web-based product configurators and automated manufacturing pipelines. Unlike traditional GUI-driven CAD software, JSCAD treats geometry as data, enabling high-performance programmatic manipulation, version control via Git, and seamless integration into modern DevOps workflows. The software operates entirely within the client-side browser or headlessly via Node.js, making it exceptionally lightweight and scalable for enterprise-grade automation. It supports advanced features like modular imports (ES modules), parametric scaling, and a variety of industrial export formats including STL, AMF, and OBJ. Its 2026 market relevance is driven by the surge in on-demand manufacturing and the need for embedding 3D visualization directly into e-commerce and engineering platforms.

Knowledge Hub

Is JSCAD compatible with OpenSCAD files?

While JSCAD is conceptually similar, it uses JavaScript. Direct .scad imports are not supported natively in V2, but logic can be easily ported.

Can I run JSCAD offline?

Yes, you can use the CLI or download the project to run it locally as a standalone web application.

What is the difference between OpenJSCAD and JSCAD?

OpenJSCAD was the original project name; JSCAD is the modernized brand name for the version 2 modular ecosystem.

Does it support 3D file imports for modification?

Yes, you can import STL files and perform boolean operations on them within the script.

How do I share my designs?

You can share your script file, or use the jscad.app URL parameters to link directly to a remote script hosted on GitHub.
