very good project!

can you tell us more about the use cases that you have in mind? I saw that you're able to run 1-4B models (which is impressive!)

Thanks for clarifying cadmium's status and offering your take on the state of truck and fornjot. So, what happened with cadmium? Is Truck just too primitive to build on top of so far? It looks like both of these kernels are actively being developed, what do you think of their rate of progress?

meh, internal problems mostly

No idea where truck is going, it'll take me quite some time to tinker with CAD I think, it left me quite a bitter taste...

Fornjot seems to be doing good, I'm donating to them and I get regular updates (you should too!). Still, there's a long, long road ahead

If I were to do this all over again I'd either go the OCCT route (like chili3d or zoo) or solvespace. they're both "lacking" kernels if you compare them to the commercial ones, but I think there's enough "market gap" for makers that would prefer a sustainable CAD format instead of perfect fillets (and IMO freecad is not the solution).

Keep in mind though that my efforts where laser focused on non-math stuff. From what I gathered from my time in cadmium, b-rep kernels are hard in an unsustainable level. Browser level unsustainable. I just hope that out of seer necessity we'll find another way to solve the CAD problem, instead of a b-rep kernel

CADmium is built with the Truck kernel, though it looks like CADmium has no repo activity since June '24. https://github.com/CADmium-Co/CADmium

There's also the Fornjot kernel. https://github.com/hannobraun/Fornjot

Cadmium is long dead and unfortunately neither truck nor fornjot are "there" yet - "there" been anything more complex than a cube

Context: I was the main contributor/maintainer of cadmium

this is hands down the most heartwarming post I've seen in A WHILE.

Like most people said, I too started kinda like that. Coding/computers is an amazing journey with near infinite paths to choose from

I wish you the best and slow clap to the amazing dad that was there to set the stage and be there for him.

Made my week for sure!

Just feed it a git URL and it will build the project and upload any produced artifacts in a release.

Especially useful for reversers and malware analysts

If you hate F360, try DesignSpark Mechanical instead.

It seems to be too simplistic. Just sketch & pull. No Surface/Mesh modeling, no advanced mirroring/etc. tools and no CAM (I can use something else for CAM but would be nice to have) And most of all: it doesn't run in wine
