On May 21, 2024, we introduced a new open-source CAD program, but we’re seeking your help to reach the finish line. How to Build a 3D parametric CAD program? You need a 2D Constraint Solver, B-rep Kernel, History Tracker, 3D User Interface, and File Format. For the 2D Constraint Solver, there are various approaches, such as the use of a 2D physics simulator. The B-rep Kernel in traditional CAD is a challenge, but with the emerging Truck in Rust, the game might change. The History Tracker is key for parametric CAD, while a 3D user interface enables browser-based design with Local-First app potential. JSON is the chosen file format for CADmium, and we aim for simplicity and widespread contribution to propel new value in the industry.
