µcad Command Line Interface
microcad-0.3.0 is not a library.

microcad

This crate provides the command line interpreter of µcad.

Note: This project is in an early stage of development and is not yet feature complete!

Installation

First, install CMake and Ninja which are needed to compile the manifold geometry library.

Debian based Linux distributions

Use the following line to install Ninja and CMake:

sudo apt install ninja-build cmake

MacOS

If you are on using MacOS, you have to install cmake and ninja using brew:

brew install cmake ninja

Install µcad via cargo

To install the latest release of µcad via cargo, type:

cargo install microcad

Command line usage

After installing, you can run a basic example by typing:

microcad eval ./examples/bricks/brick

This will evaluate the input file and will output the model tree. The evaluate command will not export the output geometry.

To generate an STL model file use the export command with an additional output file name:

microcad export ./examples/bricks/brick

Run

Start the microcad CLI by typing microcad into your console.
