Add-ons
Features you can switch on or off in the apps. An add-on extends an app; it is never an app of its own. Every add-on here was reviewed and signed by the CadCraft team.
-
3D Print
0.9.0Put elements of your building model on your printer's bed, as a scale model or life size, lay them flat, arrange them and send them to the printer, with no exporting. Sends over USB, or to Klipper, OctoPrint or PrusaLink on your network. CadCraft's basic slicer comes with it; Kiri:Moto, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer are add-ons of their own.
-
Acoustic materials
0.1.1Adds the BRAS benchmark's absorption and scattering sets to BimCraft's acoustic material lists, each labelled measured or estimated with its source. Data: BRAS, TU Berlin / RWTH Aachen, CC BY-SA 4.0. A design aid: have a licensed acoustician review your results.
-
Bambu Lab printers
0.9.0Send from 3D Print to a Bambu Lab P2S through Bambu Connect. Slices with your own OrcaSlicer and its P2S presets, then opens the file in Bambu Connect for you to start. Needs CadCraft Studio on a computer, with OrcaSlicer and Bambu Connect installed.
-
Building regulations
0.1.0Check stairs and rooms against the building regulations of a country, from a regulation pack: stair riser, going, width and handrail, room height, window and openable area, with the clause for each rule. Packs hold numbers and clause numbers, never the standard's text. A guide only: the registered professional and the local authority decide.
-
Climate futures
0.9.0Future climate data (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5, 2050 and 2080) for Hazard playback (flood, wildfire, heat) and the EnergyPlus check, present beside future. Data: NASA NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 (CMIP6 model output, CC BY 4.0) and IPCC AR6 sea level. The bundled pack is a SAMPLE (three places, one model, five years per period): for trying the tools, not for design.
-
Digital twin
0.9.0Run a Material flow layout inside your building: put a ready cell or a layout file on a level, see the equipment in the 3D view, check it against the walls, and run the flow and a soft PLC on it. The building gives the room and walls, not machine behaviour. Not a safety validation.
-
EnergyPlus check
0.8.0Opens the Energy tab's Energy simulation step: writes the model as an EnergyPlus file and, with an EnergyPlus engine you point to (your own WebAssembly build, fetched only when you press Simulate), lists heating and cooling loads beside the quick design aid's. The engine is not part of BimCraft; EnergyPlus is BSD-3-Clause (notice in the step). A second opinion, not a compliance report.
-
Fire sprinklers
0.8.0Sprinkler heads on a grid in a room by hazard class, the branch lines and cross main that feed them, and a density/area hydraulic calculation (Hazen-Williams, K-factor heads, hose allowance, a water-supply test). The design criteria are your table; the defaults are labelled for professional review. A design aid, not an approval.
-
Kiri:Moto slicer
0.9.0Adds Kiri:Moto (MIT) to the slicers in 3D Print. It runs in this page, on the web and in Studio, and downloads when first used.
-
OrcaSlicer slicer
0.9.0Adds OrcaSlicer to the slicers in 3D Print, using your own installed copy. OrcaSlicer is separate AGPL-3.0 software that you install yourself; CadCraft never ships it. Works from CadCraft Studio on a computer.
-
Plant
0.8.0Plant and factory design: pipe specs checked against the runs in the model, isometric drawings with a bill of materials, generic process equipment with nozzles as an IFC file, a layout check, and a check of the runs against a process model (line velocity and drop). A drafting aid, not an engineering approval.
-
PrusaSlicer slicer
0.9.0Adds PrusaSlicer to the slicers in 3D Print, using your own installed copy. PrusaSlicer is separate AGPL-3.0 software that you install yourself; CadCraft never ships it. Works from CadCraft Studio on a computer.
-
Resin exposure test
0.9.0A test part and a ladder of exposures for finding the right exposure for your resin and printer: one file for each exposure, in a zip.
-
Writes the Anycubic Photon Workshop resin files PWMX and PWS. Our own code, written from a specification: read back by CadCraft only, not yet loaded on a printer. Options let you switch the choices the format leaves open.
-
Writes the Chitubox family of resin files that many Elegoo, Phrozen and Creality printers read. CBDDLP and CTB version 2 are written from a format document, CTB versions 3 to 5 from a specification. Our own code, read back by CadCraft only: not yet loaded on a printer.
-
Resin files: Elegoo GOO
0.9.0Writes the Elegoo GOO file for resin printers that use it (Mars 4 Ultra, Saturn 3 Ultra and similar). Written from Elegoo's published specification and read back by CadCraft only: not yet loaded on a printer.
-
Resin files: SL1
0.9.0Writes the layered-image SL1 archive (Prusa SL1 and SL1S, and tools that read SL1). Written from public descriptions and read back by CadCraft only: not yet loaded on a printer.
-
Resin printing
0.9.0Slice for resin printers: layer pictures for your printer's screen, hollowing with vent holes, supports and a raft, a layer preview and resin cost. Free, with no locked features and no upgrade pop-ups. Needs a file-format add-on for your printer (Elegoo GOO or SL1).
-
Scan to BIM
0.9.0Proposes the floors, walls, doors and windows of a building from a point cloud you have open in BimCraft. Every proposal shows how far it sits from the scanned points, in millimetres. You accept, edit or reject each one; accepting draws them in the model as one undo step. A starting drawing from a scan, to be checked against the building: not a survey.
-
TrussCraft
0.8.1Timber roof trusses in BimCraft, PartCraft, ModelCraft and CadCraft: common, hip, girder with jacks and valley sets from a roof outline; cut, joint and stock lists; a jig layout drawn 1:1; your own loads, combinations, plate and species tables; a first member check in Problems. Not a substitute for engineered truss design or manufacturer sign-off.
-
Reverb report
1.0.3Type a room's size, finishes and people and get its reverberation time by octave band (Sabine and Eyring) against a target, as a printable report. From The Data Design Group, Inc. A design aid, not an engineering approval.
