DSLCad – a programming language and interpreter for building 3D models
Hey HN. Over the last half a year I have been working on a 3D CAD programming language called DSLCAD. Today I am here to show my first release! It is heavily inspired by OpenSCAD which got me hooked on the idea of a CAD programming language and what it can do. Please let me know what you think. Ill be in the thread to answer any questions you may have.
In plain words
DSLCad is a programming language and interpreter for creating 3D models through code. Inspired by OpenSCAD, it allows users to define three-dimensional designs using a domain-specific language rather than traditional graphical interfaces. The tool is aimed at developers and designers who prefer scripting over point-and-click modeling. The project is available on GitHub and represents an alternative approach to CAD by combining programming concepts with 3D model generation.

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
