AyamBased on our record, SolveSpace should be more popular than Ayam. It has been mentiond 20 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Is it feasible to run this on something large like Solvespace[1] (CAD) which is ~5MB executable? Or would we just get an insanely long list of issues? [1] https://solvespace.com/index.pl There are hundreds of numerical algorithms in there, and we have some bugs that might be related to this kind of implementation error. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
If you want to quickly sketch and simulate the motion of linkages, I can recommend using Solvespace: https://solvespace.com/index.pl. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Https://solvespace.com/index.pl When you learn that completely and then outgrow it, you're probably going back to FreeCAD, or maybe blender with the CAD-sketcher addon. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Give solvespace a try. It is very limited compared to the ones you listed. However I find it enjoyable, fun you may even say, to use. But I have to admit I would have a hard time using it professionally. https://solvespace.com/index.pl. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I know you posted in the Freecad sub but you could also consider Solvespace for your modeling needs. It's opensource and much lighter on your computer resources and still quite capable. For your 3D printing needs, it might be good enough. Source: over 1 year ago
There are two Rust projects working on parametric kernels I'm aware of. The first one, Truck[1] seems to have a company behind it, Ricos Ltd, that look like they to know what they're doing[2]. The tweet shows their product using functionality from Truck (the frontend is not OSS AFAIK). Fornjot is an ambitious project IMHO. Their kernel is in a separate crate[3]. As for OSS code that could be a good base to either... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
> NURBS usually requires relatively specialized libraries[0], which don't exist (at high enough quality) in the open source community. There is fully opensource cross-platform NURBS modeler — Ayam.[0] But Ayam looks not NOT user friendly. Also there are FreeShip Plus[2] and gCAD3D[3].
