Zoo Design Studio is a modern CAD application that combines traditional graphical modeling with fully programmable design through code, creating a hybrid workflow for engineering and design. The platform treats all CAD artifacts as human-readable code, allowing designs to be version-controlled, diffed, and managed using standard software development tools like Git. Users can interact with the system through a familiar point-and-click interface, but every action is translated into code in the underlying modeling language, ensuring consistency between visual and programmatic representations. The application is powered by a GPU-first geometry engine that streams rendered output as video frames, enabling high-performance modeling even when heavy computation is offloaded to remote infrastructure. It uses WebSockets for real-time communication between the client and the modeling engine, allowing immediate feedback and interactive design updates.
