A full-featured 2D + 3D CAD application built in Rust with GPU-accelerated rendering. Native DWG & DXF read and write, paper space, ACIS solids, dimensions, layouts. An open source community project by Hakan Seven, recognized and promoted by the OpenAEC Foundation.

How to build the web version.

    Oh yeah… yeah, it doesn’t seem like it’s client/server or anything. It’s just a CAD program?

    Doesn’t fit this at all.

    I dunno if it fits the “vibe coded” label though, as it appears to work well. I tend to apply that to quick hacks, or to projects where the devs clearly have no idea what they’re doing (and end up with something really bloated and janky, yet hyped a ton).

      To quote from another thread about this program:

      Claude directly has over 1100000 lines of direct code contribution. It has pretty much the same amount of code committed directly as the creator has.

      His entire coding history before Claude consisted of changing readmes or searching and replacing project name text or modifying a dead link to his own link.

      Suddenly in 4 months, without ever producing actual code before, he becomes a very competent coder enough to tackle mCAD, a notoriously difficult coding task that takes many many years with teams to make meaningful progress on?

      That is vibe coding.

      And his co-contributer “gianlucafiore” is exactly the same story. Has literally only made issues until LLM coding got released and then late 2025 (December) switched to making commits that he badly copied from an LLM such that some of the commits are literally one full line (as direct in-file working of the LLM wasn’t as accessible then)

      That is vibe coding.

      So the top 3 contributes are

      1. An LLM
      2. Someone that only has committed any code via an LLM
      3. Someone who has only made issues before beginning with an LLM and submits clearly generated code

      There is likely no human-made code in the entire project besides changing a couple links.

      If a program written almost entirely by Claude under somebody who has not previously demonstrated any actual competency in this domain isn’t vibe coding, I really don’t know what is.

        Yeah, in that case it’s sus. I’d be scared to look at the codebase.

        Does it actually work, though?

          If I read the page correctly, the project was launched in the last couple months. I’m not seeing many reviews or demonstrations online yet, but I also didn’t look very hard.

          I personally don’t have any interest in mostly vibe-coded projects and won’t be trying it.

          That said, I’d be curious to hear from anyone who has tried it. It’s certainly welcome to see open-source competitors popping up for AEC software.
