- Dune 3D – an open source parametric 3D CAD app bassed on OCCT

PrusaSlicer 2.5 beta1 is out and it can import STEP files directly!🧡 So you can skip exporting and sharing STLs completely when it comes to mechanical parts.
They integrated OCCT, so they do now have code to read STEP as part of the code base. Yes, I am aware it is tessellated right now (which is the obvious first step to make it work), but that can be changed in future. Point is: they now have at least half of the necessary code available.

3D library for engineering calculations.
The only thing coming to mind is https://dev.opencascade.org/ - it was the original kernel of the ipad app shapr3d.

Which CAD programs are most widely used and which are loved most by engineers in different fields?
https://dev.opencascade.org - "Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) is the only open-source full-scale 3D geometry library."
The OpenSource cad project, are you talking about this? https://dev.opencascade.org

What does Freecad need?
Also, FreeCAD is built on the OCCT library and it inherits many of its limitations from that. Ideally, a lot of issues should be fixed in the library and FreeCAD would automatically be improved. Unfortunately, and I could be wrong, but I don't think FreeCAD developers have much influence on what happens at OCCT, apart from filing bug reports and such.

3D library for engineering calculations.
I know a software that does some of this stuff written in Python, it's pretty powerfull but it does not cover everything you need. It's on github https://github.com/jimy-byerley/pymadcad
