Cascade Studio is a browser-based, live-scripted CAD IDE built on the OpenCascade (OCCT) kernel compiled to WebAssembly. It lets users write JavaScript or OpenSCAD code to create 3D models with real-time visualization and export to STEP, STL, or OBJ formats.

Use cases

  • create 3D CAD models by writing code in the browser
  • convert OpenSCAD scripts to STEP/STL/OBJ files
  • model parts with fillets, sweeps, lofts, and boolean operations without installing CAD software
  • embed a parametric CAD kernel in a web application via the cascade-core npm package
  • share parametric 3D models via URL
  • programmatically drive CAD modeling with an agent API for automation

When to choose

  • you want script-driven parametric CAD with no local installation
  • you need OpenCASCADE BREP precision (fillets, sweeps, STEP import/export) in a browser
  • you want to embed a CAD engine in a web app
  • you prefer JavaScript or OpenSCAD syntax over GUI CAD tools

When to avoid

  • you need a traditional GUI-based CAD workflow with mouse-driven modeling
  • you require offline desktop performance for very large assemblies
  • you need drawing/2D documentation output or CAM features
