  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • PrusaSlicer

    G-code generator for 3D printers (RepRap, Makerbot, Ultimaker etc.)

  • OCCT

    Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) is an open-source software development platform for 3D CAD, CAM, CAE. This is a clone of the official repository located on https://dev.opencascade.org/. Please use official development portal for registering issues and providing patches.

  • 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.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
