    openscad

    10.5Kopenscad/openscad · C++

    OpenSCAD is a free application for creating solid 3D CAD objects, available for Linux/UNIX, MS Windows and macOS. Unlike artistic 3D tools such as Blender, it focuses on the CAD side of 3D modeling.

    OrcaSlicer-bambulab

    7.2KFULU-Foundation/OrcaSlicer-bambulab · C++

    This is a fork of OrcaSlicer, the 3D-printing slicer, that restores full BambuNetwork support for Bambu Lab printers so you can print over the internet instead of being stuck with LAN-only mode.

  8. 11

    Amagine3D

    6.3Kamagine-ai/Amagine3D · Python

    Amagine3D is an open-source 3D capability layer: give it a product description, reference images and key dimensions, and its AI agent designs a 3D-printable hardware enclosure with editable Python CAD source, then exports STEP, STL and 3MF files.

    microduck-replica

    1.2Kfanhao375/microduck-replica · HTML

    This is a third-party reverse-engineering project that reconstructs the hardware of Pollen Robotics' Microduck bipedal robot duck - deriving assembly drawings, CAD files and a full electronics scheme from the official public MJCF simulation model and Rust source code, since the mechanical parts and one PCB were never officially open-sourced.

    QymCAD

    699QymIs-Tech/QymCAD · Rust

    QymCAD is a desktop parametric CAD application for mechanical parts and assemblies, built on a real B-rep kernel (OpenCASCADE). Sketches become solids via extrude, revolve or sweep, and parts combine into assemblies through joints.

    tiny-engineer

    695jamro/tiny-engineer · C++

    Tiny Engineer is an open-source, 3D-printable desktop robot that physically acts out what your AI coding agent is doing — reading, thinking, writing code, and finishing tasks.
