Tau
The AI-native CAD platform — open-source, browser-based, and kernel-agnostic. Design anything from 3D prints, game assets, and more.
Features
- Open Source — Apache-2.0 across the complete Tau codebase (see Licensing)
- Browser-Based — Run CAD on mobile or desktop, no installation required
- Code-Based CAD — Precise, version-controlled designs through code
- AI-Powered — Natural language interface for design creation and modification
- Parametric Editor — Adjustable parameters with real-time preview
- Multi-Kernel — Choose the right CAD engine for your project
- Embeddable — Components to bring CAD into any web application
- Runs Outside Tau — Every project keeps its ecosystem's own files (
package.json,pyproject.toml, a.csproj), so it runs withnpm ci,uv,dotnet, OpenSCAD or the Zoo CLI; the standalone-project jobs (Linux, macOS; sources ci.yml, native-darwin.yml) check each template against Tau's own export on every push tomain
Use Cases
- 3D Printing — Design and export to STL, 3MF, and slicer-compatible formats
- Game Development — Create 3D models for games and simulations
- Industrial Design — Create 3D models for industrial design and manufacturing
- CAD Prototyping — Parametric code with version control and instant iteration
- Academic Research — Kernel APIs for computational geometry and educational tools
Supported Integrations
Tau's multi-kernel architecture lets you choose the best engine for your needs. We support mechanical CAD and electrical design, with plans to expand into firmware development and simulation.
