OpenVCAD is an open-source volumetric multi-material geometry compiler that
bridges the gap between modern multi-material 3D printing capabilities and
computer-aided design (CAD) tools. OpenVCAD offers a novel workflow for
designing objects with complex material distributions, enabling applications
in fields like lattices, meta-materials, medical image printing, and robotics.
