Welcome to CGAL PyCAD’s documentation!

CGAL PyCAD is a Python library for exact 3D geometric modeling using CGAL’s Nef_polyhedron_3.

It provides: - Exact Arithmetic: Zero precision loss for boolean operations. - Robust Backend: Guaranteed closed, valid manifolds. - Pythonic API: OpenSCAD-like DSL.

Installation

pip install cgal_pycad

Quick Start

from cgal_pycad import cube, sphere, translate

# Exact cube
c = cube([10, 10, 10], center=True)

# High-res sphere (tolerance 0.01)
s = sphere(6, tolerance=0.01)

# Boolean difference
result = c - translate([2, 0, 0])(s)

result.to_stl("result.stl")
