ScorchCAD

ScorchCAD is a clone of OpenSCAD written for Android devices. ScorchCAD enables users to build CAD (computer aided design) models on an android phone or tablet. 3D modeling is performed in ScorchCAD by entering OpenSCAD code on the editor screen then compiling the code on the ScorchCAD viewer screen. The resulting 3D model can be viewed on the viewer screen. Rotate the model with one finger, 2 finger pinch to zoom, pan using three fingers. ScorchCAD can also be used as a minimal STL (STereoLithography) file viewer.
ScorchCAD aims to provide the same functions as OpenSCAD but it does not use the same source code. Most of the basic features are currently working. Additional features will be supported in future updates.

Features currently supported (fully or partially):
- 3D Shapes: cube, cylinder, sphere, polyhedron
- 2D Shapes: square, circle, polygon
- Transformations: translate, rotate, scale, resize, mirror, multmatrix, hull, color
- Boolean Operations: union, difference and intersection
- Functions: norm, cross, lookup, str, , version, version_num and mathematical functions
- Other: echo, for, intersection_for, if, assign, projection, surface
- File Import: DXF and STL (ASCII and binary)
- User defined variables and special variables : $fa, $fs and $fn
- User defined functions and Math functions
- Modifier character
* (disable)

ScorchCAD is still a work in progress here is a partial list of the OpenSCAD features not yet supported:minkowski, search, children, parent_module, Modifier Characters (! show only, # highlight, % transparent)

* Help make ScorchCAD better ***If ScorchCAD crashes during a model build please e-mail the *.scad file that resulted in a crash. I get crash reports from Google Play but it is difficult to troubleshoot without the code that caused the crash.

Very quick and easy to load SCAD files. However, when i load a file that has more than one piece to it unconnected, i wait for as long as 3 minutes and it doesnt compile. And yet it only takes 3 seconds to compile a file with a single piece to the model. Otherwise, very good app!

I am so happy this app exists. OpenSCAD looks daunting at first, but once you get the hang of it, you quickly begin to realize it's potential. Having an android clone is a dream come true. For quick modelling and concept work, this app is excellent.

💀DEAD💀 no updates since 2016, sad there is no more interest in developing this, 💥crashes a lot, 'if() else' does not work, some file editing issues, best to edit somewhere else & copy/paste, EXAMPLES need work 10/21 fail; hit limit of app drawing Truncated Icosahedron, 90 edges, had to make 4 STL to assemble

Sadly doesn't work with any recent Android version, as it fails to see any folders on the file system, making opening and saving impossible.

This is super useful to get an idea made when waiting for things. I am running into issues were when I open a file and click save it saves over the last project I had instead of its own file. (I am using samsung dex so who knows)

At first looks just like regular OpenSCAD, but fails to render some source codes with polyhedrons (compilation goes forever). This renders the whole app unusable for my workflow. Yet seems to work fine with simple bodies (sphere, cylinder, cube...)

Great to be able to model on mobile, but unfortunately this app doesn't execute OpenScad code properly. On the first design I tried it wouldn't execute booleans properly. Then I ran the same code on OpenScad. On there it looked how it was supposed to.

Excellent CAD app. It loses one star though just because the code editor and console don't have a dark mode even though the main menu does.

Tried it for a half hour. On my OnePlus 7 pro, it would delete my code every time I pressed the save button. I decided to instead use UserLand to run the real OpenSCAD in Debian.

works well, better documentation would be appreciated (in-app as the demos) and a way to increase "resolution"

Hen. S. Dec 26, 2021     

Very well done! It's fun to be able to show 3D modeling on a smartphone! 🙂

Mic. H. Jan 25, 2022     

Great start, I hope they will bring it up to 2022 OpenSCAD command set. Commands like minkowski don't work.

Muh. M. A. Jul 29, 2019     

good app. but some features missing. one of important one is minkowski sum

Aru. K. Jan 9, 2021     

Cool...! But last updated is 2016 #RIP_ScorchCAD

Sam. F. Nov 18, 2021     

A joke. Can't even edit console.

Ton. G. Jan 21, 2019     

Dev, please update. i would recommend: (1) ability to pull files from thingiverse (and other sites) and (2) ability to edit in google docs old review: Once you get past a few lines, copy and paste get problematic, keyboard covers editing area. I've resorted to editing elsewhere and pasting to Scorch. Otherwise very good- can't wait for the improvements. How do I pay?

Sab. C. Apr 24, 2018     

Only the demos work. When you try to add in code and hit compile nothing loads, errors, and the console just shows x, y, z 0.0000

Awesome app! Being able to parametrically create 3D models on Android so painlessly really makes this a must have maker and engineering app :-)

Mar. G. Apr 16, 2017     

Not use friendly. In app examples consist of square & circle. No complex 3 or more shapes / colours. Deleting to replace with something more usable.

Jam. B. Nov 26, 2017     

Seems good at first. However the editor is very poor, but most of all it just doesn't work. The renderer is very buggy and models come out wrong. A shame.

Gae. L. Sep 1, 2018     

It's a nice app. It can be used to design draft ideas. Unfortunately, some functionalities are missing (such as minkowski and children). I can't use it to work on real projects.

Ben. G. Sep 12, 2017     

It's free. No ads. Does even render complex stuff. Speed for rendering is really nice. Editor is very basic, but overall experience is just nice. Thanks for this good work.

Jam. K. Apr 7, 2019     

I really hope this is not abandoned as it is a fantastic program. It is however missing lots of commands that are in openscad and in need of optimization.

rob. k. Jan 3, 2017     

User interface is clunky at best... highly non-intuitive, especially the editor (ugh, bleah, yuck). Doesn't have openscad features introduced over a year ago (i.e. offset).

Den. P. Mar 23, 2017     

I'm in love with openscad, and this is exactly what I was waiting for! Thanks for the good job!

Joh. O. Jul 28, 2017     

Great thank you . Used it to make a replacement 3D printed part for a door handle . perfect

Бог. Ф. May 26, 2017     

It's good OpenScad viewer and editor (in case you don't have PC)

Mat. K. Feb 8, 2018     

Each update more impressive than the last. Like what it does, but… any further improvements coming?
