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
  • Install — Homebrew, pip, pipx, or PyPI
  • Quick Start — common patterns in 60 seconds
  • Python API — fluent assets, profiles, reports, validation, and export
  • Format Guidelines — what to ask for and what to export
  • Reference — global flags, env vars, exit codes, completions
