Show HN: Vibe Code your 3D Models
Hi HN, I’m the creator of SynapsCAD, an open-source desktop application I've been building that combines an OpenSCAD code editor, a real-time 3D viewport, and an AI assistant. You can write OpenSCAD code, compile it directly to a 3D mesh, and use an LLM (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, ...) to modify the code through natural language. Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN8a5UozS5Q A bit about the architecture: - It’s built entirely in Rust. - The UI and 3D viewport are powered by Bevy 0.15 and egui. - It uses a pure-Rust compilation pipeline (openscad-rs for parsing and csgrs for constructive solid geometry rendering) so there are no external tools or WASM required. - Async AI network calls are handled by Tokio in the background to keep the Bevy render loop smooth. Disclaimer: This is a very early prototype. The OpenSCAD parser/compiler doesn't support everything perfectly yet, so you will definitely hit some rough edges if you throw complex scripts at it. I mostly just want to get th
