CADBase
Open-source hub & 3D viewer for engineers and makers
Open-source hub designed as a neutral bridge between proprietary CAD platforms. Features high-performance WebGPU browser rendering for 3D models, BIM, and G-code, alongside secure on-premise deployment.
I’m the creator of CADBase — an open-source hub and common data environment (CDE) for 3D engineering models, BIM, and G-code.
We designed CADBase to break down CAD interoperability barriers between proprietary systems. While we provide a live cloud version, the entire platform can be deployed on-premise, using an object-based data layout to store and version independent file sets for different engineering software under a single part number.
Technical Architecture & Capabilities:
3D Viewer: Inspect STEP, IFC, G-code, and standard web 3D formats (STL, GLTF, GLB) natively in your browser tab.
Neutral Integration Hub: Connect desktop tools via a strictly typed GraphQL API or use our ready plugins for FreeCAD and Blender.
On-Premise Deployment: Run the entire stack (Rust Actix-web/Yew, PostgreSQL and S3) locally on your own hardware for absolute data isolation.
The core platform is entirely open-source, distributed under the MIT and GNU AGPL v3.0 licenses. Our primary development hub is on GitLab, with official mirrors automatically synchronized on GitHub so you can easily star, fork, or contribute wherever you prefer.
We are launching on the weekend to share this vision with independent hardware developers, open-source contributors, and makers. Check out our source code, test the live app, and let us know what tools we should integrate with next! 👇
We've been building it over the past few years, and today the core team consists of just two of us — myself and TianHao.
Thanks for checking out our project, Ivan

Who hunted CADBase?
CADBase was hunted by Ivan Nosovsky. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community. See the full all-time top hunters leaderboard to discover who is shaping the Product Hunt ecosystem.
