    Might I ask, why exactly do you feel the need to have a webapp for CAD rather than a hard client?

    Freecad in a VM with a remote viewer like guacamole?

      Ideally you could use moonlight but that is not web based

    Would love to learn if it exists too. I use it often.

    The only other way I know how to CAD is https://github.com/pythonscad/pythonscad

      Unrelated but BTW FreeCAD is fully python scriptable. In fact, as I understand it, every operation is first translated to python code.

        Yeah, and it outright isn’t documented.

          FreeCAD’s Python functions are all well organized in different modules. Some of them are already loaded (imported) when you start FreeCAD. Just try:

          dir()

      There is also Cascade Studio (Demo). Sadly development has stalled, it was a really cool project.

      Probably not at all what OP is looking for though since TinkerCAD is just sketch/primitive type workflow, not like openscad.

    Someone posted this https://webvm.io/alpine.html in another community and it made me think of this post. I’ve never used webvm and I suspect there are many downsides but seemed relevant and the demo seems to be able to run a full desktop environment. You have to find a CAD software that supports Linux though which is a controversial topic at best.
