I'm working on a CAD kernel in Rust with a frontend either as a Blender plugin or a Blender fork (leaning towards fork at this point) It's not at all ready but I have reached first part status (before going back and rewriting a large chunk of the kernel)
Interesting. I have played with OpenScad a bit. This looks similar - i guess the difference is the syntax is python - any other major differences
CadQuery can export STEP files, and is overall much nicer to use in my opinion.
I've been using Gemini to generate openscad programs for use with my 3d printer. Is cadquery a better option I wonder?
Why do you say it is better than openscad?
After reading some of the docs it does look fun.
Python, so leverage your Python skills and existing libraries.
A nice GUI so you can build, view, tweak, review, iterate.
Will be a nice new toy...
Neat!
