+## Cloud Projects: Server-Side CAD
+
+The CLI isn't just for frontend apps anymore. You can now scaffold **cloud** projects that pair a backend server with a React + Three.js frontend, connecting to our [CAD Cloud API](/api/cloud-api) for server-side model generation, STEP-to-glTF conversion, and CAD pipelines.
+
+Run the CLI and select the **cloud** app type when prompted. Then pick from five backend templates:
+
+- **Hono + SDK** — TypeScript SDK on Cloudflare Workers
+- **Hono + REST** — raw `fetch` on Cloudflare Workers
+- **Node.js + SDK** — TypeScript SDK on Express 5
+- **Node.js + REST** — raw `fetch` on Express 5
+- **.NET + REST** — `HttpClient` on ASP.NET Core (.NET 10)
+
+Your API key stays on the server, and the frontend proxies all requests through your backend. Add your key, run `npm install`, and you're building a full-stack CAD application.

 ## Why This Matters
 
 We believe that the future of CAD and 3D design is on the web. Browser-based tools are accessible to everyone, require no installation, and can run on virtually any device. But building these tools has been harder than it should be.
