A UI which seems a bit more in-line w/ contemporary expectations is Dune 3D: https://dune3d.org/ which I find a little less confusing than the traditional 3D CAD packages I've tried (and failed to learn) --- at least for Dune 3D I've made it through the tutorial successfully. - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago
Components are pretty easily done via pick-and-place, which was just demonstrated on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGZ0qpPN1uk once one can make traces in 3D as part of a case/shell/frame/structure things get _very_ interesting --- consider that one electronics designer actually worked up a 3D CAD system: https://dune3d.org/ just for making 3D printed enclosures: >My primary use case for 3D CAD is... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Notably the library was used (at least for a while) in the development of Dune 3D: https://dune3d.org/ but then the author used the source directly as noted in the Github footnote: >I ended up directly using solvespace's solver instead of the suggested wrapper code since it didn't expose all of the features I needed. I also had to patch the solver to make it sufficiently fast for the kinds of equations I was... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
Another opensource CAD tool to look at is Dune 3D: https://dune3d.org/ which has been discussed here in the past: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37979758 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41975958 which if it just had parameters/scripting would have a lot more potential. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
Note for Blender there is: https://www.cadsketcher.com/ That said, if you want 3D CAD, the simplest option is probably: https://dune3d.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
CadQuery was an inspiration when I built FluidCAD. I wanted the workflow to be as close to traditional CAD as possible with more interactive UI. https://fluidcad.io. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
