I just tried this, genuinely groundbreaking! So quick to spin a VM and get going

What I really want is an A3 e-ink display that is designed to have a pdf loaded onto it, then can be disconnected and taken around a machine shop. No WiFi or Bluetooth etc

I think safety may have something to do with it, it's pretty much a bomb

ISO 10303-21 is annoying to read and write, with an awful lot of stuff not used by CAD tools

SDF for CAM would be a great approach, but quite a big beast to attempt

I want my data to be compatible with existing CAM tools so I can get parts machined.

I like BREP via language, it allows great flexibility and ability to query geometry at run time, e.g. Find all vertical edges to apply radius.

Yeah, agreed. Would be cool to have multiple CAD kernels using the same markup language, then you can easily version control and use it for interchange.

I have been working on a .net wrapper for opencascade (https://github.com/veggielane/EngrCAD) but opencascade interop from .net is a pain. I also fell in and out of love with SDF, as most CAM tools need BREP.

I agree with people in this thread, the world needs more CAD kernels. I also think that we need a language agnostic markup language to represent the BREP.

Hi, does this platform support designers with no printer?
