Getting started
What Cadova is, what you need to use it, and your first model: from the project template to a 3MF file open in Cadova Viewer.

Learn Cadova
in nine short videos.
From your first model to paths, lofts and sweeps, each in about two minutes. Start at the beginning, or jump to the topic you need: every episode has chapters. The code from every episode is one Swift package you can clone and run.

Shapes and transformations
Cadova's basic shapes, and moving, rotating and aligning them. We build a bracket from two boxes, with its sizes defined in one place.
Episode 03 · 2:02
Combining shapes
Adding, subtracting and intersecting shapes, and repeating them. The bracket gets mounting holes and ribs.
Episode 04 · 1:39
From 2D to 3D
Drawing outlines in 2D and turning them into solids: a mounting plate, a rib drawn as a polygon, and a revolved cup.
Episode 05 · 1:47
Edges and finishing
Rounded outlines, fillets and chamfers, edge queries and hollowing, while we build a storage box.
Episode 06 · 1:38
Your own shapes
Defining your own shape types, with parameters and defaults: a storage box and a lid that fits it, using the tolerance from the environment.
Episode 07 · 1:22
Measuring and arranging
Measuring bounds, volume and the center of mass, and laying parts out with Stack. A stand is sized to fit the bracket, and three parts are arranged on a print plate.
Episode 08 · 1:25
Text, color and output
Text as a 2D shape, colors that go into the 3MF file, and parts for multi-color printing, while we make a name tag.

Beyond the basics
A short tour of more advanced tools: smooth paths, lofts, sweeps, splitting, and wrapping text around a cylinder.
