MakerCAD

MakerCAD by Marcus Wu is a new open source CAD software where you write code to create 3D objects.

Unlike OpenSCAD, you can sketch on a surface and then “extrude” it in 3D. It’s just like Autodesk Fusion but with code!

You can export your model as STL or STEP and the code makes it easy to version your design with GIT.

The language used to write the geometries is Golang, meaning you can also use all the maths and functions that come with this language. Golang is also generally well appreciated.

I’m looking forward to see how MakerCAD evolve. Thank you to Marcus for all his hard work!
