CADFaber review
A low-cost browser CAD tool with visual and code-driven parametric modeling.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CADFaber is a browser-based 3D CAD editor for makers, classrooms, small workshops, and people designing printable parts. It combines a drag-and-drop Visual Builder with a JSCAD Code Editor, giving users both an accessible way to create models and a code-driven route to parametric control. The Free plan includes unlimited projects, CSG operations, STL export, and browser-based project storage. Because it runs locally in the browser, supports offline use, and does not require an account, it fits lightweight design workflows that prioritize accessibility over a broad desktop application ecosystem.
Pricing is straightforward but offers two Pro purchase models. Free costs €0 forever and includes the core visual and code-editing tools, STL export, and CSG operations. Pro adds OBJ, GLB/GLTF, and 3MF export, heightmap import, more than 50 Pro parametric templates, and priority email support. The published options are €24.99 as a one-time license for 3 years or €9.99 per year, billed annually. That makes the free tier useful for STL-focused work, while Pro is the more practical choice for users moving models across several 3D formats or seeking additional templates and support.
The strongest fit is for users who want browser access, offline local storage, parametric modeling, and tools such as measurements, dimension labels, and print analysis without an account. Imports cover STL, OBJ, and SVG, while the built-in render engine and print-oriented exports support a focused modeling workflow. CADFaber is less suitable for teams seeking a large integration ecosystem, or for designers who need a broader desktop CAD environment. Choose it for accessible, low-cost modeling of printable parts; consider an alternative when extensive platform integrations or a workflow beyond its focused browser model are central requirements.
CADFaber pros and cons
- Where it wins
- Free plan includes visual and JSCAD parametric modeling tools
- Boolean operations, measurements, and print analysis support printable parts
- Offline browser use and multiple export formats support flexible workflows
- Where it doesn't
- Visual Builder is limited to 30 shapes
- Pro is required for OBJ, GLB/GLTF, and 3MF exports
- Its web-only platform may not suit desktop CAD workflows
