FreeCAD VS go-unsplash

FreeCAD is a general-purpose parametric 3D computer-aided design (CAD) modeler. This open-source software application is based on C, C++, and Python. PVS-Studio doesn't support Python at the moment, so I will only check the C and C++ parts. Here is the link to the project code.

LibreCAD, OpenSCAD (more script based and more for solids), FreeCAD.

FreeCAD - 3D Design (CAD style)

Before spending any money on software, I think you would be best served by learning some fundamentals on how they work. Things like idealization of properties and boundary conditions are critical when performing solutions in any of those things (garbage in = garbage out). I recommend getting a free cad package (https://www.freecad.org is a good option) and then making some basic tools in Python or even Excel to solve basic beam and plate solutions.

Of course the former is regionally specific but I did file an issue for it, https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/9263

For full 3d check out FreeCAD. https://www.freecad.org/ Again the UI is a bit eccentric in places. It's a huge project and parts of it are under active development so even if you rule it out now it's worth checking out again periodically. There is an integrated 3d CAM built into one of FreeCADs workbenches.

https://www.freecad.org/ will do both CAD and CAM.

FreeCAD parametric 3D modeler, very different UI

From the code, we managed to generate a rectangular card with a play button (images sourced from Unsplash). Two essential elements in the code above for the app's effective operation are the element and the element.

In the root of your project, create a new folder called images and add some images. You can use the images from the example project on GitHub or you can find license free images on unsplash.

Since I wanted to have thumbnails for each post (the file it uses is defined by the thumbnail field in the front matter), I decided to add some code that copies the files from our posts folder to the assets folder in Angular. This way, we can easily reference them in our Angular code. However, some of the image files I would download from Unsplash.com (fantastic public domain images btw) were huge and would take a few seconds to load in the browser. So, I delegated this task to gulp, where the files would first be piped to imagemin and then copied to the assets folder. This optimized the images for faster load times. My gulpfile.mjs looks like this:
