It wasn't clear from the article whether or not the released their Shot Manger plugin as FOSS or kept it an internal tool. I found a plugin called "Shot Manager" but it seems to have been authored by an unrelated Australian company (although some of the features sound very similar).
I am not saying they are obligated to release their custom tools. It would just be very interesting if they did. I am not in this space at all other than my kids are learning Blender and love it.
Tangent:
Completely unrelated to this, I am truly hoping that a large company takes interest in KiCAD and helps push development to the "production ready" stage that Blender seems to have achieved. The EDA market is in serious need of a solid FOSS tool that isn't driven by the latest shinny thing companies go after.
To be clear, KiCAD is absolutely fantastic and I am looking forward to version 6.0. We are planning on migrating our work from Altium Designer to KiCAD, likely starting around the end of this year. I'm sick and tired of what has been happening with Altium and the other tools are just as bad or worse.
