CADAM
Open source text-to-CAD web application that generates 3D models from natural language, powered by OpenSCAD running in the browser.
What it does and how it connects
CADAM is an open source text-to-CAD web application that generates 3D models from natural language, powered by OpenSCAD running in the browser through WebAssembly. It runs at adam.new/cadam with no install required.
It turns natural language and image references into 3D models with real-time preview, extracts adjustable dimensions as parametric controls with interactive sliders, and exports .STL, .SCAD, or .DXF files. The library support stated in the README includes BOSL, BOSL2, and MCAD.
The project is built with Node.js, React, and Supabase. The latest release is v0.3.0 from June 2026.

Recurring errors it addresses
Error Index entries this tool is built to reduce or work around.
- rebuilding a FreeCAD enclosure (45 objects, 19 spreadsheet parameters) in OpenSCAD, the lid matches but the case is 1643 mm³ off with a 9 mm max surface distance, so acceptance fails; some sketch effects did not carry over.Error Index
- porting a desk controller enclosure from FreeCAD to OpenSCAD, the author found the encoder retainer crossing the carrier and cut a 0.35 mm relief; the equivalence check is a homemade script comparing bounding box, volume and surface distance per configuration.Error Index
