◢ Chisel — AI CAD
Say it. Shape it. Message what you want built; Claude writes a parametric CAD script, it runs in a sandbox, and it appears in a live 3D viewport — exportable to real CAD.
The core idea: the design is a parametric script. Chat edits patch the script; sliders tune its parameters; export emits the geometry. Everything — editing, versioning, parametrics — falls out of that one choice.
Live: https://chisel.theradicalparty.com · pushes to main auto-deploy via
the Forgejo post-receive hook.
Architecture (v0 — MVP)
React + react-three-fiber (chat + 3D viewport)
│ POST /api/generate | /api/repair
▼
Hono Worker ── Claude (claude-sonnet-4-6, prompt-cached system prompt)
│
▼ returns a JSCAD script
Sandboxed Web Worker (src/client/engine) ── runs script → binary STL
▼
three.js viewport + Download STL
- Kernel: JSCAD (
@jscad/modeling), pure JS — runs client-side in a Web Worker isolated from the DOM. Exports STL now. - Agent loop: generate → execute → on error,
/api/repair(up to 3×) before the user sees anything. - Parameters:
// @param name default // labelcomments in the script become live sliders that re-run locally with no API call.
Develop
npm install
wrangler secret put ANTHROPIC_API_KEY # or add to .dev.vars for local dev
# terminal 1 — Worker API on :8787
npm run dev
# terminal 2 — Vite client on :5173 (proxies /api → :8787)
npm run dev:client
Open http://localhost:5173.
Deploy
npm run deploy # builds client → ./public, then wrangler deploy

Roadmap
- v1 — conversational edits as source-of-truth, vision verification (render → "does this match?"), auth + saved projects (D1/R2), 3MF/OBJ export.
- v2 — STEP B-rep engine via build123d/OpenCascade in a Cloudflare Container/Sandbox, so exports reopen cleanly in Fusion/SolidWorks/FreeCAD. Version history & branching.
- v3 — assemblies & mates, dimension queries ("how tall is it?"), manufacturing hints (3D print / CNC).
