OCCT 8.0 (aka Open Cascade Technology) is out! It's the CAD kernel used by many projects such as @freecad, #CadQuery , #build123d or even @kicad ! It has wrappers for STEP and IGES and can use BRep topology representation. A very important open source tool for the hardware world!

I have released version 0.9 of `cq-studio`, my hot-reloading server for using the excellent #YACV viewer to interact with models you build in #CadQuery (or #build123d) with #Python code, programmatically. It lets you edit your model code module(s) in any editor/IDE you like, and the models are re-rendered whenever changes to your files are saved.

You can install it with just `pipx install cq-studio`. If you've never used pipx before, it requires a tiny amount of setup to add the programs it installs to your file search PATH environment variable.
CadQuery is an alternative to the perhaps better-known OpenSCAD package. CadQuery uses a more advanced CAD kernel than OpenSCAD, but they both have their uses.

Well, so I just published my first-in-a-long-time brand-new #OpenSource / #FreeSoftware project. And I decided it was finally time to get a #PyPI account, so it actually shows up there.
It's `cq-studio`:
https://pypi.org/project/cq-studio/It's to use with #CadQuery (or #build123d, perhaps), a way to #model #3D objects programmatically, with #Python code. You edit your code in whatever editor, and view the results with a great interactive viewer in your browser.
