Maker.js, a Microsoft Garage project, is a JavaScript library for creating line drawings for CNC and laser cutters. It runs in both Node.js and web browsers.
Draw using three primitive paths: Line, Circle, and Arc.
Paths can be grouped into Models to form more complex drawings.
Behind the scenes, drawings are a simple Javascript object which can be serialized / deserialized conventionally with JSON.
Other people's Models can be imported, modified, and re-exported.
Models can be scaled, measured, and converted to different unit systems.
Models can be rotated or mirrored.
Find intersection points or intersection angles of paths.
Easily add a curvature at the joint between any 2 paths, using a traditional fillet or a dogbone fillet.
Combine models with boolean operations to get unions, intersections, or punches.
Detect loops formed by paths connecting end to end.
