   FluidCAD – Parametric CAD with JavaScript▲160

   Hello HN users, This is a CAD by code project I have been working on on my free time for more than year now.

Same workflow, same terminology. - Reduce the mental effort required to create models as much as possible. This is achieved by: - Provide live rendering and visual guidance as you type. - Allow the user to reference existing edges/faces on the scene instead of having to calculate everything. - Provide interactive mouse helpers for features that are hard to write by code: Only 3…

   DSLCad – a programming language and interpreter for building 3D models▲198

   Hey HN. Over the last half a year I have been working on a 3D CAD programming language called DSLCAD. Today I am here to show my first release! It is heavily inspired by OpenSCAD which got me hooked on the idea of a CAD programming language and what it can do. Please let me know what you think. Ill be in the thread to answer any questions you may have.

    OpenSCAD configurable calendar 3D model▲55

    I created a highly configurable calendar 3D model using OpenSCAD. This project uses Zeller’s Congruence to automatically adjust the calendar layout for any year. Just change the year in the configurator, and the model updates accordingly. The link contains a little more of the backstory and the downloadable model from a 3rd-party site, additionally the full source code is included in the post. Some highlights: - Implemented date calculations entirely in OpenSCAD (with no built-in date support, which was challenging but fun). - Customizable layout, multi-material printing support, and…
