Features

The Core of Our CAD Ecosystem

The ClassCAD eco system is built on a modern stack, with a focus on extensibility and reliability.

It makes it easy to integrate and embed CAD functionality into your own applications with ease.

ClassCAD Core and APIs
  • ClassCAD is an object-oriented, cross-platform C++ development environment. It supports Windows, Linux, WASM, and runs on ARM64 Ubuntu.
  • API's for parts and assemblies are compiled into TypeScript for Buerli.io client development. A Python API is coming soon.
  • A subset of the ClassCAD language, CCScript, will be available for automation tasks.
Instance management & Interfaces
  • A WebSockets based instance manager enables basic user-management, re-use of instances and scaling.
  • With WASM you can embed ClassCAD into your client app. Check it out on Buerligons.io.
  • Or, interact with our CAD engine via HTTP, perfect for automating design tasks.
CAD Features
  • All standard features (extrusion, revolve, fillet, chamfer, boolean operations, etc.)
  • Based on the Solid Modelling Solutions nurbs kernel
  • Constraint based sketching in 2d and constraint based assembling in 3d
  • Support of expressions for part tables and features
  • Import/Export formats via STEP, or DXF via Open Design Alliance platform
  • New CAD features added with every release. (Upcoming: Extrude along path and sweeps, lofts etc.)
Modern stack
  • Continuous integration, Daily builds, backed by automated nightly testing for reliability
  • Extensible Core - Supporting libraries via dynamic linking and usage through our language
