VanCAD is built on excellent open-source software and public-domain assets. This page credits them, reproduces the licence notices we’re required to include, and sets out our trademark position.

Trademarks and disclaimer

VanCAD lets you design a conversion for a real vehicle, so it refers to van manufacturer and model names - for example Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Fiat Ducato. These names are the trademarks of their respective owners. VanCAD is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them. The names are used only nominatively - to identify the vehicle you are designing for

  • which is a recognised fair use. We ship no manufacturer logos, badges, stylised wordmarks or trade dress, and no third-party 3D assets: the geometry is our own parametric data.

Van and component dimensions are approximate and provided for planning only - always verify measurements against your own vehicle and materials before you build.

Open-source components

The runtime components below ship as part of VanCAD. Each is under a permissive licence (MIT, or the functionally equivalent ISC, except where noted), whose only binding obligation is to include the copyright and permission notice - reproduced beneath the list.

The Apache-2.0 licence (class-variance-authority) is available at apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0; the ISC licence (lucide) carries the same single copyright-notice obligation as MIT. All other components above are under the MIT licence. Each keeps its own copyright line - the one shown beside it in the list above (for example “© 2010-2026 three.js authors”) - and the permission notice below, which is identical for all of them, is reproduced once here to satisfy that shared obligation:
