![]() Experimentation on the CAD kernel side.Long-term, I see the following opportunities to improve on CadQuery: So asking what Fornjot hopes to add, given that CadQuery exists, is a fair question.įirst, to be clear, at this point Fornjot is at a much earlier stage of development, and can't compete with CadQuery. How does Fornjot compare to CadQuery?ĬadQuery is a more feature-rich alternative to OpenSCAD that is based on a b-rep kernel. ![]() Like sketching on existing faces, or built-in support for bevels/chamfers. Under the hood, Fornjot is using a completely different approach (called boundary representation or b-rep), that will allow it to support more advanced features at some point. In reality, Fornjot is at a much earlier stage of development, and still much more limited. There's an article about the advantages of this approach on the Fornjot blog. This is also called Code-CAD, or programmatic CAD. You use a programming language to program your models, like you would software. Fornjot follows an alternative alternative approach, in which CAD models are defined by code. Most CAD software provides a graphical user interface, which can be both complicated and limiting. ![]() Like designing parts of a machine (or the whole machine). It's distinct from 3D modeling software in general, in that it's focused on technical applications.
