Kurt KremitzkiJust 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
Plöp PlöpWhy are there no libraries that handle #NURBS and are somewhat decently documented? The only ones I found are #openCascade and openNurbs and one is very badly documented the other not at all. I just want to have a function that gives me the curve to an extrusion without doing the math myself. (well and a few similar things) #cad3d
CAD-Viewer.comWe 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
My talk at #FOSDEM was accepted for the Open Hardware & #CAD/CAM Devroom! "PostCAD: #OpenCASCADE in the #Database"

Aliaksei ChapyzhenkaLove how it is easy to 3D CAD model in #replicad with a little-bit JS and #opencascade magic. Thanks to

normand 🚴@ericbuijs Hey Eric, I made a quick visit to the FreeCAD forum, somebody posted about this new open source 3D CAD program. I thought you’d be interested.
It’s based on the Open Cascade kernel, uses the SolveSpace solver, can do fillets and chamfers, and import/export to STEP.
Still basic features, and no packaged build for Linux (yet?), must be compiled… No Mac version.
There’s a flatpak! https://flathub.org/apps/org.dune3d.dune3d
talpaFillets in #freecad (0.21.2) seem to have gotten some additional magic.
Almost 100% sure they used to fail if they encountered a line segment that couldn't have the specified fillet applied... Not any more.
Thanks to the #opencascade dev. that implemented this
pafurijaz#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

Tim NewmanAm 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
