#opencascade — Public Fediverse posts

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!

Just did a git fetch on #OpenCASCADE and it looks like there's a version 8.0 release candidate available, planned to come out at the beginning of next year! https://dev.opencascade.org/content/important-announcement-occt-80-release-and-patch-migration-process

We regret to inform our community that the fundraising campaign to purchase the AutoCAD (*.dxf) format was not successful. Despite the announcement, only 15€ were received. As a result, we will not be acquiring the OpenCascade plugin at this time.

Finally, please note that we do not sell or reuse your data like most companies. If you want to benefit from a great service, please consider making a small donation.

We're thrilled to share the first prototype of our custom CAD binary format (GBKF1000), designed to reduce file sizes by up to 80% and improve loading times in our WebGL viewer.

Also, As part of our commitment to open source, we're also releasing parts of the project as free software:

GBKF Core specification: https://gbkf.rsm92.fr

C++ library: https://github.com/rsm-gh/gbkf-core-cpp

Python library: https://github.com/rsm-gh/gbkf-core-python

#Mayo the cross platform viewer and converter that support several #CAD file format, is actively developed and is getting better, an #opensource application based on #OpenCascade and can handle also various mesh file format like #glFT or #glb

Am I correct in thinking that #opencascade does not have a native file format? There are a lot of sources for loading step files (which we're doing) but I wondered if there was an actual file OCC format? #cad #freecad

It is based on the technologies .Net, C#, C++/CLI and #OpenCASCADE Technology (#OCCT).

I've been playing around with implementing a #haskell wrapper to #opencascade with a view to using it to do programmable CAD.

It's early days so far (the code has no structure, and I'm leaking memory all over the shop), but I've been able to implement the bottle example from the library tutorials.

And after a while I finally organized the model with colors and groups and subgroups with various assemblies, now saving in #STEP and then creating materials in PBR and saving in #XBF format! #FreeCAD #CAD #opencascade

Does anyone have experience with using #cpp libraries in #rust codebases with the #cxx crate?

I'm a total noob in C++ and the best I could come up with is this: https://github.com/beeb/test-occ-bindings

Trying to use #occt to convert a #STEP file into #STL

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@noiseislife Have a look at https://replicad.xyz - it is my Brep based CAD library which supports chamfers and fillet (based on #opencascade like @FreeCAD and #cadquery)

Help us get #OpenCascade (the CAD kernel FreeCAD utilizes) up]-to-date on all major software package repositories.

Do this by talking to the packagers of said repositories and asking how you can help make it happen. This is fundamentally beneficial to opensource projects like #FreeCAD.
