## What is Code-CAD? ## What is Code-CAD?
It's software that allows you to define 3D CAD models with code. It's a niche popular amongst software devs for obvious reasons — it gives you parametric models almost by default and it's easy to maintain and extend models within a team over time when paired with git. The coding nature of it allows teams to build their own abstraction for re-use and quick prototyping. The [Cadhub](https://cadhub.xyz/) homepage has a good breakdown of the potential of the Code-CAD paradigm. Code-CAD is not to be confused with 3d geometry libraries, Code-CAD instead has opinionated abstractions for quickly developing mechanical parts.

- It can be hard to build powerful abstractions since they've rolled their own language. Consequences of this include that it doesn't have a package manager like many modern languages, and the presence of quirks with the language, such as function definitions that aren't ergonomic. - It can be hard to build powerful abstractions since they've rolled their own language.

No matter which one is your tool of choice, if you're here and you love Code-CAD and you'll want to checkout [Cadhub](https://cadhub.xyz/). Think of it as Codepen crossed with a thing repository, and it's our love letter to the Maker community. Currently, CascadeStudio is the only Code-CAD integration, but we're working on more.
