CLI Tool
fascat
convert CAD STEP data into realtime-ready OpenUSD and glTF assets
Install
brew install fascat
Fascat converts STEP, IGES, and OpenCASCADE BREP assets into realtime-ready OpenUSD, glTF, OBJ, STL, and FBX assets while preserving hierarchy, materials, transforms, and repeated parts where the source format exposes them.
Why fascat
- Focused — V1 supports CAD import through STEP, IGES, and native BREP, with OpenUSD, glTF, OBJ, STL, or FBX output
- Scriptable — command results can be emitted as JSON for pipeline use
- Inspectable — conversion reports expose options, warnings, timings, and mesh statistics
- Conservative — lossy operations are explicit and controlled by profiles or flags
