IRSIM is an event-driven logic-level simulator for MOS circuits.
To run irsim, users should set CAD_HOME to the base installation directory
where magic was installed, e.g. /usr/local. Alternatively, the system
administrator can create a dummy user named 'cad' with its home
directory set to the installation directory.
LeoCAD is a CAD program that can be used to create virtual LEGO models.
It has an easy to use interface and currently features over 4000 different
pieces created by the LDraw community.
LibreCAD is a 2D CAD drawing application based on the community
edition of QCad (www.qcad.org).
LinuxCNC controls CNC machines. It can drive milling machines,
lathes, 3d printers, laser cutters, plasma cutters, robot arms,
hexapods, and more.
- Accepts G-code input, drives CNC machines in response.
- Active user community.
- Several different GUIs available.
- Compatible with many popular machine control hardware interfaces.
- Supports rigid tapping, cutter compensation, and many other advanced
control features.
WARNING: This port is simulation-only for now.
Magic is an interactive editor for VLSI layouts that runs under BSD.
To run magic, users should set CAD_HOME to the base installation directory
where magic was installed, e.g. /usr/local. Alternatively, the system
administrator can create a dummy user named 'cad' with its home
directory set to the installation directory.
MeshDev is a mesh comparison software. It accepts two meshes as input and
computes the geometrical deviation between the two meshes.
It return numerical values and can optionaly generate visual results (with a
pseudo-colored mesh corresponding to the measured deviation) in OpenInventor
format.
MeshLab is an open source, portable, and extensible system for the processing
and editing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes. The system is aimed to help
the processing of the typical not-so-small unstructured models arising in 3D
scanning, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting,
rendering and converting this kind of meshes.
Kicad is an open source (GPL) software for the creation of electronic schematic
diagrams and printed circuit board artwork.
Designed and written by Jean-Pierre Charras, a researcher at LIS (Laboratoire
des Images et des Signaux) and a teacher in IUT de Saint Martin d'Heres
(France), in the field of electrical engineering and image processing.
Kicad is a set of four softwares and a project manager:
* Eeschema: Schematic entry.
* Pcbnew: Board editor.
* Gerbview: GERBER viewer (photoplotter documents).
* Cvpcb: footprint selector for components used in the circuit design.
* Kicad: project manager.
OpenSCAD is a software for creating 3D CAD objects.
Unlike most free software for creating 3D models, it does not focus on
the artistic aspects of 3D modelling but instead on the CAD aspects.
Thus it is more suitable for creating 3D models of machine parts but
perhaps not when creating computer-animated movies.
OpenSCAD is not an interactive modeller. Instead it is something like
a 3D-compiler that reads in a script file that describes the object
and renders the 3D model from this script file. This gives designers
full control over the modelling process and enables them to easily
change any step in the modelling process or make designes that are
defined by configurable parameters.
LDraw is an open standard for LEGO CAD programs that allow the user to create
virtual LEGO models and scenes. You can use it to document models you have
physically built, create building instructions just like LEGO, render 3D photo
realistic images of your virtual models and even make animations.
The possibilities are endless. Unlike real LEGO bricks where you are limited by
the number of parts and colors, in LDraw nothing is impossible.
