About Manifold

Manifold is a geometry library dedicated to creating and operating on manifold triangle meshes. A manifold mesh is a mesh that represents a solid object, and so is very important in manufacturing, CAD, structural analysis, etc. Manifold also supports arbitrary vertex properties and enables mapping of materials for rendering use-cases. Our primary goal is reliability: guaranteed manifold output without caveats or edge cases. Our secondary goal is performance: efficient algorithms that make extensive use of parallelization, or pipelining when only a single thread is available.

Here is an incomplete list of our users, whose integrations may be anywhere from in-progress to released. Please feel free to send a PR to update this list with your own project - it's quite difficult for us to keep track.

Bindings & Packages

Manifold has bindings to many other languages, some maintained in this repository, and others elsewhere. It can also be built in C++ via vcpkg. There is also a native Rust port, manifold-rust, which passes Manifold's full test suite with identical results and has no C++ dependency — from a user's perspective it works like a binding.

ManifoldCAD.org

If you like OpenSCAD / JSCAD, you might also like ManifoldCAD - our own solid modelling web app where you script in JS/TS. This uses our npm package, manifold-3d, built via WASM. It's not quite as fast as our raw C++, but it's hard to beat for interoperability.
