    Parametric 2d/3d CAD

    It does look like they finally improved the IdList in 2021 according to [0]. When I have time I'll give it a spin on some of the models I was last working on.

    The last time I went down this path, IIRC the interactivity had improved substantially even on large assemblies, but a bunch of new bugs had been introduced. So I just stayed on the old branch with the indexing fix, it's been relatively bug-free for the stuff I do. From what I recall even just picking lines/points/faces with mouse clicks had become unreliable and inconsistent in the last new release I tried, it was very broken.

  • sdfx

    A simple CAD package using signed distance functions

    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.

  • InfluxDB

  • cadquery

    A python parametric CAD scripting framework based on OCCT

  • SolidPython

    A python frontend for solid modelling that compiles to OpenSCAD

  • PyMesh

    Geometry Processing Library for Python

  • OCP

    Even bigger problem is that it's riddled with hardcoded paths, redundant copies of files, disregarding recommended usage notes of its 3rd party libraries.. basically it contains every DevOps related anti-pattern you can think of.

    There seems to be just one maintainer dealing with build related things and he is of a very different opinion what is anti-pattern or just don't want absolutely anybody to touch his code into which he poured his hours.
