design3d

A computations-oriented python VOLume MoDeLeR with STEP support for import and export

Description

design3d is a python 3d design package enabling CAD automations. With it, you can easily create 3D models from python code. Check the examples to see what you can do with this library. A hard fork of the discontinued volmdlr project.

Features

• Generate 2D and 3D geometries from python
• Handles complexe geometries : B-spline curves and surfaces
• Primitives provide computational tasks : distances, belonging, union, intersections, etc.
• STEP/STL imports and exports
• Geometries display in your web browser with babylon.js

User Installation

pip install design3d
# or
pip3 install design3d

Dev Installation

Before using design3d, be sure to have a C/C++ compiler (not necessary on Linux).
N.B : With Windows you have to download one and allow it to read Python’s code.

First, clone the package. Then, enter the newly created design3d repository. Finally, develop the setup.py file, and you are good to go !

git clone https://github.com/masfaraud/design3d.git

cd design3d

python3 setup.py develop --user
# or whatever version you are using :
python3.x setup.py develop --user
