What is OpenGeometry?

OpenGeometry is a high-performance CAD kernel for the web that provides 2D and 3D geometric primitives and CAD operations via WebAssembly. Written in Rust and compiled to WASM, it delivers near-native performance for complex geometric computations directly in the browser. With TypeScript bindings and seamless Three.js integration, OpenGeometry makes it easy to build sophisticated CAD applications, 3D modeling tools, architectural visualization software, and interactive geometry editors for the web.

​
Why OpenGeometry?

Building CAD applications for the web has traditionally required complex server-side processing or compromising on performance. OpenGeometry changes that:
  • High Performance: Rust-compiled WASM delivers near-native speed for geometric operations
  • Browser-Native: No server required - all computation happens client-side
  • Three.js Integration: Drop-in components that work seamlessly with Three.js scenes
  • Type-Safe: Full TypeScript support with complete type definitions
  • Production-Ready: Robust triangulation, extrusion, offset, and Boolean operations

​
Key Features

​
2D & 3D Primitives

Create lines, polylines, arcs, curves, and rectangles with simple, intuitive APIs: 
const line = new Line({
  start: new Vector3(-3.0, 0.0, -2.0),
  end: new Vector3(-1.0, 0.0, -1.0),
  color: 0x111827,
});

​
Parametric Shapes

Build complex 3D shapes including cuboids, cylinders, spheres, wedges, and polygons: 
const cuboid = new Cuboid({
  center: new Vector3(0.0, 0.8, -1.2),
  width: 1.2,
  height: 1.6,
  depth: 1.0,
  color: 0x10b981,
});
cuboid.outline = true;

​
Advanced Operations

  • Triangulation: Robust polygon triangulation with hole support
  • Extrusion: Convert 2D profiles into 3D solids
  • Sweep: Create complex shapes by sweeping profiles along paths
  • Offset: Generate offset curves and surfaces
  • Boolean Operations: Union, intersection, and difference (in progress)

​
BREP Data Access

Access boundary representation data for advanced CAD workflows: 
const brepData = cuboid.getBrepData();

​
