How does this compare to OpenSCAD?
- eggy 10y agoIf you are referring to SolveSpace, OpenSCAD is text-based, and you build your geometry programmatically. SolveSpace has a CAD viewer interface, and you draw and constrain your geometry. I use FreeCAD as an alternative to AutoCAD (Inventor, Fusion360), but I have used SolveSpace for a small project where I wanted to animate the linkage for a client. The same could have been done in Fusion360 too. It was for fun. The latest FreeCAD has greatly improved animation capabilities for renderings. You can use SolveSpace's constraint solver in your own project, since I believe, it is separate from the viewer code. It is a very nice piece of work by one individual. I follow it once or twice a year to see if people are going to add much more to it.
