sdfx
A simple CAD package written in Go (https://golang.org/)
- Objects are modelled with 2d and 3d signed distance functions (SDFs).
- Objects are defined with Go code.
- Objects are rendered to an STL/3MF file to be viewed and/or 3d printed.
How To
- See the examples.
- Write some Go code to define your own object.
- Build and run the Go code.
- Preview the output in an 3d file viewer (e.g. http://www.meshlab.net/)
- Print the STL/3MF file if you like it enough.
SDF Viewer Go or SDFX-UI allow faster development iterations, replacing steps 3 and 4 until the final build.
Why?
- SDFs make CSG easy.
- As a language Golang > OpenSCAD.
- SDFs can easily do filleting and chamfering (hard to do with OpenSCAD).
- SDFs are hackable to try out oddball ideas.
