Thanks for supporting the JSCAD Project in 2022!
Published on January 15, 2023 by Z3 Development

There were lots of improvements to JSCAD in 2022, including improved documentation, bug fixes, new features, and huge performance boosts.

Please visit the website at www.openjscad.xyz and try some of the examples.

There were a series of improvements to performance. However, we are really proud of the 30% boost to the performance of boolean operations. This was HUGE, and makes JSCAD performant with many compiled languages.

There have a bunch of new features as well, including helical extrusions, TAU integration, Chinese translations, 3MD export of designs, X3D export of designs, rendering of 2D shapes with colors, etc.

And the user group has been busy as well, creating new integrations with VSCode, create cool design websites, and showing JSCAD at conventions. Here are some cool sites.

Here’s a recap of 2022 in statistics
- 12 releases of V2
- 300+ member in the user group
- 125 followers of the project
- 2100+ stars (likes)
- 475 forks of the JSCAD project

And on top of that, the V3 project has kicked off with a bunch of ideas for improving the modeling API, as well as improving the building blocks for applications.

It's been a great year, and your support has helped immensely.
