## What it is
CADAM is an open-source web application that converts natural language descriptions and images into 3D CAD models using LLM-powered agents and OpenSCAD compiled to WebAssembly. It runs entirely in the browser, offering parametric controls and export to STL, SCAD, and DXF formats.

## Use cases
- generate a 3D CAD model from a text description
- create parametric parts by describing them in plain English
- convert an image reference into an STL model for 3D printing
- tweak dimensions of a generated model with sliders and export as DXF
- prototype mechanical parts in the browser without installing CAD software
- use OpenSCAD libraries like BOSL2 to build models via AI

## When to choose
- you want to generate simple 3D-printable models from text or images without CAD expertise
- you need a browser-based, no-install text-to-CAD workflow
- you want an open-source, self-hostable alternative to proprietary text-to-CAD tools
- you work with OpenSCAD and want AI-assisted parametric modeling

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade precision engineering or assemblies like SolidWorks or Fusion 360 provide
- you require proprietary CAD formats such as STEP or native part files
- you need offline desktop CAD with full feature trees and drawings
- your models demand tight tolerances beyond what LLM-generated OpenSCAD code can guarantee
