One SDF path to the viewport
The Rust kernel, dependency graph and canonical SDF geometry underpin WebGPU/WGSL presentation. Production-path consolidation and hardware validation remain acceptance criteria.
Design in the browser with a Rust geometry kernel. NeuroCAD is connecting parametric modeling, model exchange and simulation through a shared engineering foundation, with canonical SDF geometry and WebGPU/WGSL presentation.

October 2026 update. We are building a shared foundation for models, product revisions, computation and evidence. Here is what exists in code and where the platform is heading.
The Rust kernel, dependency graph and canonical SDF geometry underpin WebGPU/WGSL presentation. Production-path consolidation and hardware validation remain acceptance criteria.
New domain models distinguish a part, an assembly, an immutable revision and a component occurrence. Geometry remains kernel-owned; integration across workbenches is ongoing.
STEP, IGES and mesh adapters provide the import/export foundation. REV13 develops exchange around semantic preservation, fidelity and provenance; support is validated for each format and model.
Symbolic operations have a dedicated SageMath integration. When configured, an unavailable SageMath service returns an explicit engine-labelled error. Geometry and interactive operations remain in the Rust kernel.
The study domain model and API now bind study revisions to immutable engineering baselines. Computation engines are identified separately; complete solver workflows require their own validation.
Feature Program is the direction for versioned construction intent and dependencies. The goal is to trace a model change through computation, verification and results, with explicit validation in each workbench.
Pilots are scoped around a specific workflow. An implemented module or API does not establish a complete user journey; performance, fidelity and readiness are confirmed by executing that workflow.
Discuss your engineering workflowParametric and field modeling form the geometry foundation. Product revisions, engineering studies and exchange services extend the platform; workflow availability is confirmed during pilot scoping.
Deterministic constraint solver with canonical outcomes. Lines, arcs, circles, splines with geometric and dimensional constraints.
Implemented kernel paths for sketch-to-extrude and sketch-to-revolve, plus feature history and edit-intent infrastructure. Fillet/chamfer and richer feature workflows are being hardened for pilots.
Surface layer with NURBS admission/evaluation, loft/sweep execution contracts, surface session workflows, and quality/healing diagnostics. UI-level workflows are being productized.
Field-native geometry with PDE-driven shape evolution. Sculpt, deform, and evolve surfaces with exact-zone protection.
SDF booleans and smooth variants are implemented in kernel/session paths. Feature-preserving boolean reports and evidence exist, with integration hardening ongoing.
Reaction-diffusion systems, mean curvature flow, Laplace-Beltrami operators. Bounded field evolution with replay safety.
Gradient exposure for lawful geometry optimization. Sensitivities flow through the entire design graph.
Graded lattice generation with parametric unit cells. Gyroid, diamond, octet — tuned for strength, weight, or thermal conductivity.
Continuous material grading from one zone to another. Per-voxel multi-material assignment for PolyJet and MJF printing.
Macro structure + micro lattice + material grading, coordinated as a single design. Scales from millimeters to meters.
Manufacturing constraints are moving into governed design workflows. Wall thickness, draft, overhang, export, and validation evidence are tracked through deterministic gates.
Measurement, tolerancing, GD&T, QIF/DMIS, and inspection evidence loops for validation-driven engineering workflows.



SDF/nalgebra owns numeric geometry; Geometric Algebra in CGA and PGA supports constructions and rigid motion. REV13 extends this foundation toward versioned feature programs and engineering traceability. Canonical SDF remains the presentation path for native and imported bodies.
Signed Distance Fields and nalgebra/f64 evaluation provide the numeric geometry truth: inside/outside, distance, gradients, booleans, offsets, and field composition.
CGA represents spheres, planes, circles, and tangent constructions. PGA represents rigid motion, screw axes, motors, mates, and mechanism paths.
Overlap operations are reconciled through projection π and per-operation tolerance ε. Engine disagreement is treated as a correctness signal, not hidden tolerance magic.
NeuroFEM is the NeuroCAD computational-physics and engineering-compute domain. REV13 defines a solver-independent, method-independent, HPC-native architecture: formulate the physical problem, plan a qualified numerical method and backend, execute, and return traceable results.
Fields, materials, loads, conditions and objectives feed the target Compute Model IR. Form-CAS and SageMath support formulation and symbolic verification through separate roles.
MOOSE provides bounded initial execution paths. Additional methods and MFEM/FEniCSx backends are architectural extensions requiring capability and qualification evidence.
Compute Fabric separates placement from physics. The target ResultSet records the method, backend, inputs, artifacts, convergence, uncertainty and validation evidence.
