2022 Update:

CADL is now pretty much dead. I may pick it back up at some point, but ideally as a self hostable 3D asset library.

Happy to collab if anyone wants to work on this with me. Just shoot me an email.

CADL - An open source CAD Library with 3D rendering

Designed and built to host a variety of CAD files at NoiseBridge Hackerspace, CADL is an open source tool for anyone who wants to visualize and share a variety of CAD projects.
