An STL format importer/exporter plugin script for Google SketchUp. Supports both binary and ASCII import and export.

ThanCad is a 2dimensional cad, with limited 3d support and raster inclusion capability and emphasis in engineering. It is being written in Python and since it uses the Tkinter library, it is platform independent.

A robotic DIY styrofoam cutter consisting of one rotational and two translational axes. It cuts a variety of shapes out of styrofoam-like materials using a hot wire. This project documents the necessary hardware and software parts. Don't miss the follow-up project at http://raumschaum.org Its goal is to further develop hardware and software into an user friendly application.

The PARSEC CEE is the primary achievement of several years of effort at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. The CEE was developed to allow engineers in the Advanced Concepts Department to rapidly prototype launch vehicle and spacecraft concepts.

The ADG library (Automatic Drawing Generation) is a set of functions focused on automating the drawing of mechanical parts. It is not a CAD system but a GObject-based library where a custom application can put common CAD entities such as paths, hatches and dimensions, to automatically create technical drawings. A demo application is provided in order to show the capabilities of the canvas. Although it is possible to interact with the library directly in C (that is what the adg-demo program is doing), the canvas is expected to be used from higher level languages, much in the same way as what done in the GNOME stack. Lua bindings based on LGI are already provided out of the box. The adg-lua project, downloadable from the "Files" section, provides Lua programs and demos that leverages these bindings.

COPanno is now at http://download.tuxfamily.org/copanno/ COPanno is a small utility to find the best solution for cutting rectangular panels in a defined-size sheet. * v1.2 Introduce multi-threading (calculation is up to 8 times faster) and internationalization support. English and French translations are done. * v1.3 Add per panel orientation keeping Copanno est un utilitaire de calepinage donnant la meilleure manière de découper des panneaux rectangulaire dans une feuille de dimension définie. * v1.2 Le calcul parallèle permet d'accélérer le traitement sur les ordinateurs multi-cœurs. La traduction en Français et en Anglais est réalisée. * v1.3 La conservation de l'orientation des panneaux (le fil) peut être définie pour chaque élément.

A tool for CNC toolpath generation. Model data in, G-Codes out. The system is kept as generic as possible. Machines with up to 9 axis can be defined. Machine simulator included.

GeomSS is a geometry modeling and scripting system in Java. Write scripts that create and analyze complex geometry including NURBS curves and surfaces. This is especially useful for tasks that must be repeated with small or parametric variations.

QCAD is an application for computer aided drafting (CAD) in two dimensions (2D). With QCAD you can create technical drawings such as plans for buildings, interiors, mechanical parts or schematics and diagrams. QCAD works on Windows, Mac OS X and many Linux and Unix Systems.

Software application, firmware and U.I. for 4-motors 3-axis milling machine, open hardware, software and mechanics. See also project in details for schematics and images on http://www.contesti.eu/opensource/xyz-dc-motor-controller

The BladeDesigner package is a CAD/CAE tool providing classes for turbomachine blade design. So far it is optimized to be useful in the aerodynamic design process. It comes with a GUI but is most powerful with user defined python scripts.

Line-drawing and polygon-filling rasterization algorithms in Java. Simple 2D package and more complex 3D package with Z-buffering. Texture mapping not supported at the moment. Color interpolation for lines, Gouraud shading for polygons fully supported. Floating point vertex coordinates, not integer. Pixel-level aliasing, not endpoint aliasing. Doesn't use Bresenham line style! Works with all Java versions. No external dependencies. Suitable for study in academic institutions, especially as related to line-drawing accuracy. Particular attention to detail concerning chopping of accumulation errors, using a cast from 64 bit to 32 bit strategy, in the interval [1.0,2.0). Individual pixel errors with overlapping polygons or line segments are about one in a billion, but I can't reproduce any errors at the moment by using random number generation with tens of millions of cases. Emphasis not only on correctness, but also on performance for real-world use or hardware implementation.

A graphical tool to design a bicycle (s) geometry and derive drawings from its configuration rattleCAD moved to www.rattleCAD.com

new 3d markup language for creating one tool for all 3d CAD data in the world.it is for viewing 3d data without plugins on web and desktop and for creating 3d pdf in one step.
