gleamscad

A Gleam library for programmatically generating OpenSCAD files.

Features

• Type-safe OpenSCAD generation: Write OpenSCAD code in Gleam with compile-time checks.
• Easy integration: Use in any Gleam project targeting Erlang and JavaScript.

Supported feature set

Not every feature of OpenSCAD is supported yet. For a comparison of all features of OpenSCAD see: https://openscad.org/cheatsheet/

Boolean operations

• union()
• difference()
• intersection()

2D

• circle(radius | d=diameter)
• square(size,center)
• square([width,height],center)
• polygon([points])
• polygon([points],[paths])
• text(text,size,font,direction,language,script, halign,valign,spacing)
• import("….ext", convexity)
• projection(cut)

3D

• sphere(radius | d=diameter)
• cube(size, center)
• cube([width,depth,height], center)
• cylinder(h,r|d,center)
• cylinder(h,r1|d1,r2|d2,center)
• polyhedron(points, faces, convexity)
• import("….ext", convexity)
• linear_extrude(height,center,convexity,twist,slices)
• rotate_extrude(angle,convexity)
• surface(file = "….ext",center,convexity)

Transformations

• translate([x,y,z])

• rotate([x,y,z])

• rotate(a, [x,y,z])

• scale([x,y,z])

• resize([x,y,z],auto,convexity)

• mirror([x,y,z])

• multmatrix(m)

• color("colorname",alpha)

• color("#hexvalue")

• color([r,g,b,a])

• offset(r|delta,chamfer)

• hull()

• minkowski(convexity)

• Special variables

Example

gleam add gleamscad@1

import gleamscad as cad

pub fn main() {
  cad.cube(12.34, cad.NotCentered)
  |> cad.translate(1.0, 2.0, 3.0)
  |> cad.rotate(90.0, 0.0, 0.0)
  |> cad.to_openscad
  |> echo
}

This will result in (indentations added for clarity):

rotate([90.0, 0.000000000, 0.000000000])
{
	translate([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
	{
		cube(size=[12.34, 12.34, 12.34], center=false);
	}
}
