sdfx VS cadquery

Object Oriented Programming is a way to go to create CAD tool for school project, not golang (too hard for school task). If you really must, this was I want to try in one of my projects: https://github.com/deadsy/sdfx

Designed all of these parts* using Deadsy/SDFX, it was certainly interesting and I enjoyed working with it, getting visual artifacts off my model and keeping file sizes down is a bit tedious though.

I wrote this (in golang) to satisfy my need to generate STLs for 3d printing.

In general I like to write code to define objects, but there are some situations where a graphical editing UI would be nice. ie- Curve and polygon design.

You can sort of imagine a hybrid approach where you could crack open a mini editor to design a curve and then use it to generate code (table of numbers) which you could then extrude/sweep/loft or whatever.

Nice to see sdfx [1] there, this project is impressive.

deadsy built some rather sophisticated models, be sure to check out the renderings in the github README!

I had a similar question, and this is how I answered it (after a visit to openscad,,,) https://github.com/deadsy/sdfx

I was thinking about cadQuery or DrawSVG. But maybe you have a better idea ? I'm beginner in python (started on november ...)

Last few months, I've made over 20 3D printed panels using the CadQuery Python library. Its syntax is pretty complex, so every time I wanted to make a panel, I'd just copy-paste bits and pieces from my previous panels. In the process, I learned what work and what doesn't, and I thought it was time to polish up this system to share it with others.

You might be interested in CadQuery:

Spicy! I'm also a solidworks user but I've been playing around with cadquery recently, that installed and performs pretty nicely on Linux for me. Haven't really pushed it though.

I am currently developing a pipeline for creating STL files, slice them and create a print job based on it. My setup at the moment is an Ultimaker S5, which offers a simple REST-API, for example starting a job with a G-Code or UFP file. I am using the cadQuery library for creating parametrized 3d shapes and export them as a STL file. I want to use the CuraEngine CLI interface (Backend for Cura) for slicing or their library libArcus (python bindings) but there is literally no documentation or any kind of examples, except the source code. There is also the prucaSlicer, which also offers a CLI interface for creating G-Code, but no support for the Ultimaker S5.

Not C but maybe cadquery? https://cadquery.readthedocs.io

CadQuery would be a closer alternative to OpenSCAD. Not sure if it’s available on OpenBSD.
