Description
JoinWorks is a 3D design app built for digital fabrication (Laser, CNC & 3D printing). Key features: • AI Joint Design: Effortlessly create interlocking finger joints, tabs & slots, and connectors for precise fits. • 2D ↔ 3D Workflow: Assemble 2D vectors (DXF/SVG) into 3D models, or unwrap 3D components into flat layouts & STL files. • Built-in Marketplace: Showcase, share, and sell digital design models directly.

Could you build this?
No Parametric CAD modeling, automatic 3D-to-2D unwrapping, kerf compensation, and generative interlocking joint geometry require deep computational geometry expertise.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires a custom boundary representation (B-Rep) geometric modeling kernel or leveraging OpenCASCADE / Manifold wrapped in C++/WASM, with custom algorithms for topological intersection and kerf calculation. Converting 3D components to cut-ready 2D DXF/SVG profiles requires complex planar unfolding and collision detection. This demands advanced computational geometry, CAD kernel engineering, and manufacturing domain knowledge.
