Just wanted to share the manifold library to 3D printing enthusiasts.

It is a fast and robust mesh boolean library in C++ with a typescript API that you can use in your browser! It has most of the operations supported by OpenSCAD, but without import svg and minkowski. The operation is so fast that even OpenSCAD is using it as a backend (experimental option in nightly) and get up to 250x performance improvement for some models.

This is amazing thanks for this.

To try it out install the Development Snapshot of OpenSCAD from here:
https://openscad.org/downloads.html#snapshots

Then go to Edit/Preferences in the menu
Click on Features icon
Select manifold checkbox
