About CADFaber

CADFaber is a browser-based 3D CAD editor for makers, classrooms, small workshops, and anyone who wants to design printable parts without installing a heavyweight desktop CAD suite.

Who Builds It

CADFaber is built and maintained by Tom Silas Helmke in Germany. The project focuses on practical 3D printing workflows: fast modeling, predictable STL export, local project storage, and beginner-friendly learning material that can be tested directly in the editor.

Product Principles

• Local-first by default: projects are stored in your browser unless you export or share them yourself.
• No forced account: users can start designing before deciding whether a paid license makes sense.
• Useful before monetization: free users get the core editor, STL export, tutorials, and public tools.
• Transparent tradeoffs: legal pages, privacy details, and product limitations are linked from every page.

Editorial Standards

CADFaber articles and tutorials are written around workflows that can be reproduced in the editor. Comparisons are intended to be practical, not hostile: the goal is to help users choose the right tool for a real project, validate exports, and avoid failed prints.

When a page includes a recommendation, it should explain the context, the tradeoff, and a simple way to test the advice. Thin pages, placeholder posts, and artificial traffic tactics do not fit the project.
