Make the panels
Step-by-step shop guide for Hex panel frames — dimensions, miters, bevels, and a live 3D viewer.
Open source · DIY
Build an 18′ wood geodesic dome — with interactive shop guides.
Free, open-source tools that walk you through panel frames and shell assembly. Cut in your shop. Put the dome together on site. Improve the project with the community.
Two ways in
Start with the interactive guides. Everything is open source and built for DIY.
Raise the shell
Interactive full-shell view: place hex, pent, and door halves ring by ring.
Fork and improve
Code and guides live on GitHub. Use them, change them, send improvements back.
Built for a real shop
The guides assume common DIY woodworking tools — table saw and miter saw — and show inches and millimeters.
Clear dimensions
Locked panel sizes and angles for the 18′ 5/8 3v wood frame path.
3D you can trust
Orbit the panel or the full shell while you follow each step.
Improve as we go
MVP site and guides ship early. We refine with real builds.
