- claimred 4y agoIt is mentioned on author's website though. https://www.fornjot.app/blog/the-world-needs-another-cad-program/ https://www.fornjot.app/blog/the-world-needs-another-cad-pro... >There is lots of interesting space between "hobbyist" and "can justify to spend loads of money", and I tend to find myself right in the middle of that. Feels like an indie cad era is upon us. Plasticity, mart3d, antimony .. >A CAD application, especially one with a custom CAD kernel, is a huge project. What I've always found amusing is that there are actually quite a few geometric modeling kernels and every one of them costs a ton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_modeling_kernel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_modeling_kernel
- hannobraun 4y agoFreeCAD is GUI-based though, not code-first like Fornjot. A better comparison would be CadQuery (https://cadquery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html https://cadquery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html) or Cascade Studio (https://zalo.github.io/CascadeStudio/ https://zalo.github.io/CascadeStudio/), both of which are code-first and based on the same CAD kernel as FreeCAD.
