Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How do I use/install packages in CQ-Editor?
I have a need to use the thread module from https://github.com/gumyr/cq_warehouse, and I'm sure I'll use https://github.com/meadiode/cq_gears as well. I just downloaded CadQuery 2 for Windows, and I can't figure out where I need to download these repos so I can call them in the script.

Morphing crossed helical gears
My generator is here: https://github.com/meadiode/cq_gears It's built on top of 3d-CAD modelling library called CadQuery and as I mentioned earlier it's not specifically intended to be used with Blender, more like for general CAD needs.

CadQuery –- A Python parametric CAD scripting framework based on OCCT
One thing that kept me using OpenSCAD was the section of additional modules for it, including a decent involute gear creator. For those of you diving into CadQuery, here’s the equivalent: https://github.com/meadiode/cq_gears

Powerful, Open-Source, Programmatic CAD
Libfive is the closest successor. Blender also starts to support implicit modeling. https://libfive.com/

Meta Releases Intermediate Graphics Library
You probably have already seen this, but I would take a look at libfive for inspiration

- Better OpenSCAD?

Question About Runtime Mesh Editing
You can find a few algorithms online (such as csg.js and libfive), but most of them are either not robust or fast enough for real-time graphics.

Show HN: Make 3D art in your browser using Lisp and math
No; Bauble doesn't know how to "rasterize" SDFs into meshes; it only knows how to raymarch them. It's theoretically possible, but it's a pretty complex problem that would take me much too long to figure out and implement. So Bauble is relegated to just making pretty pictures for now. If you want to produce meshes using SDFs, check out https://libfive.com/

Antimony – computer-aided design tool from the Lisp machine parallel universe
This is a mid-point in Matt Keeter's research.
Start at:
http://mattkeeter.com/research/thesis.pdf
then see:
http://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/kokopelli/
then Antimony (see the article at: http://hackaday.com/2015/05/29/otherworldy-cad-software-hail... ), then the current effort:
https://github.com/libfive/libfive
(and also see: https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/tovero "a binding of Libfive to Common Lisp, including a standalone REPL-based viewer"[https://github.com/Irev-Dev/curated-code-cad] can be integrated with https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/clive
Currently I'm using OpenSCAD (w/ BlockSCAD as a front-end: https://www.blockscad3d.com because I prefer a sort of visual representation), but have been stymied by the lack of file I/O (I want to write out G-code).
Still looking for a 3D modeling tool which is:
- a node or block editor
- Learning CAD on Linux
- OpenSCAD 3D rendering just got an order of magnitude faster
What are some alternatives?
