Tags: cad, openscad, openscad-syntax, opencascade, b-rep, 3d-modeling, step-export

Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 5, Utility: 6)

Bcad revives an abandoned project to provide an OpenSCAD-syntax CAD tool powered by OpenCASCADE, enabling exact geometry (B-Rep) and STEP export instead of polygonal meshes. It is interesting for combining OpenSCAD's code-driven modeling with industrial-grade geometry kernels, and was notably developed via AI code generation.

Target audience: backend devs, mechanical engineers, 3D modeling enthusiasts
