Score: 6.7/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 3, Utility: 6)

TrussLab is a browser-based CAD tool for designing space-frame structures from stock tubes, automatically generating 3D-printable joints. It simplifies truss design with a native node-link model and parametric attachments, making it practical for makers and engineers to build custom frames without complex general-purpose CAD.

Target audience: engineers, makers, mechanical designers, 3D printing enthusiasts
