OpenJSCAD.org

Version 0.006 (ALPHA)

OpenJSCAD.org is a more up-to-date OpenJsCAD frontend where you can edit .jscad files either locally or online via JS editor (built-in). A few functions are available to make the transition from OpenSCAD to OpenJSCAD easier (OpenSCAD.jscad built-in).

Installation

Immediate Use: No installation, go to OpenJSCAD.org

Local Use:

% git clone https://github.com/Spiritdude/OpenJSCAD.org

and then access the files via local web-site and your web-browser.
