2D Export formats: DXF, SVG, PDF, Jscad CAG object

3D Export formats: Jscad Script, Jscad CSG object, STL

Core concepts

  • paths - The primitive elements of a drawing are lines, arcs, and circles.
  • models - Groups of paths to compose a shape.
  • layers - Organization of models, such as by color or tool type.
  • chains - A series of lines and arcs that connect end-to-end continuously.

Learn more in the tutorial or API documentation.

Getting Started

Try it now

Visit the Maker.js Playground a sample app to edit and run JavaScript from your browser.

Each of the demos will also open in the playground so that you can explore and modify their code.

To use in a web browser

Download the browser-based version of Maker.js, then upload it to your website: https://maker.js.org/target/js/browser.maker.js

Add a script tag in your HTML:

<script src="https://maker.js.org/target/js/browser.maker.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

var makerjs = require('makerjs');

To use via CDN

Add a script tag to your HTML:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/makerjs@0/target/js/browser.maker.js"></script>

To work with Bezier Curves, you will also need a copy of Bezier.js by Pomax

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bezier-js@2/bezier.js"></script>

To work with fonts, you will need both Bezier.js(above) and a copy of Opentype.js by Frederik De Bleser

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/opentype.js@0/dist/opentype.js"></script>

In your JavaScript, use the require function to get a reference:

var makerjs = require('makerjs');
