ShapeJS is a <a href=\"http:\/\/shapejs.shapeways.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">language and development environment<\/a> that generates printable math art, shapes, or that manipulates images and geometry to create products of various forms. It allows you &nbsp;to write JavaScript in a web page and instantly see geometry generated in a 3D viewer on the right. The voxel library gives you very accurate control over what gets printed. &nbsp;By combining a rich set of constructive solid modeling operations with voxel level control, you get the best of both types of modeling. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;re already seeing great products that have been made using ShapeJS:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/tealight.jpg\" width=\"611\" height=\"674\"><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 9.5pt;\">ShapeJS can also serve as a foundation for everything from hosted apps to a development library for API Partners. Once you&#8217;re happy with the object, you can print it for yourself or quickly turn it into a creator for others to use.
