Jupyter SCAD

Jupyter SCAD provides rendering and interactive visualization for 3D objects described in SolidPython2 within a Jupyter notebook. Additionally, it provides interactive visualization for STLs.

This program is focused on the use case of generating stl files with Python (aka SolidPython2) interactively within a Jupyter notebook.

SolidPython2 generates OpenSCAD language code from Python code. Jupyter SCAD then uses OpenSCAD to render the OpenSCAD code to a 3D model and provides interactive visualization. As an alternative to SolidPython2, the OpenSCAD code can also be provided directly.

Quick Start

Jupyter SCAD can be installed with pip:

pip install jupyterscad

An OpenSCAD object can be defined using SolidPython2, viewed in a Jupyter notebook, and saved to an stl file with:

from jupyterscad import view
from solid2 import cube

view(cube([1.5,2,1],center=True), outfile='cube.stl')

render example

See the Usage page for more examples.

Status: MATURE

This project has reached it's goal, a basic Jupyter notebook viewer for SolidPython2, and no further improvements are planned.
