A full GPL'd suite and toolkit of Electronic Design Automation tools. These tools are used for electrical circuit design, schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, and production. Currently, the gEDA project offers a mature suite of free software applications for electronics design, including schematic capture, attribute management, bill of materials (BOM) generation, netlisting into over 20 netlist formats, analog and digital simulation, and printed circuit board (PCB) layout.
BRL-CAD is a powerful cross-platform open source combinatorial solid modeling system that includes an interactive 3D solid geometry editor, a network-distributed symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) high-performance ray-tracer with support for rendering and geometric analysis, image and signal-processing tools, a system performance analysis benchmark suite, a flexible geometry scripting interface, and a high-performance geometric representation and analysis library.
BRL-CAD is a constructive solid geometry (CSG) solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD) system. It includes an interactive geometry editor, ray tracing support for graphics rendering and geometric analysis, computer network distributed framebuffer support, scripting, image-processing and signal-processing tools. The entire package is distributed in source code and binary form. BRL-CAD is a powerful cross-platform Open Source combinatorial Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) solid modeling syst
ZCAD is simple CAD program for technical drawings and electrical wirings and devices. It supports the DXF2000, DWG, PDF/PS/SVG/EPS and ZCP file formats and SHX or TTF fonts, is cross-platform, uses fast OpenGL rendering, allows polar tracking, accessible 2D and 3D object rotation and perspectivic view, and taking object snapshots.
CadQuery is an intuitive, easy-to-use python based language for building parametric 3D CAD models. CadQuery is for 3D CAD what jQuery is for javascript. Imagine selecting Faces of a 3d object the same way you select DOM objects with JQuery!
KiCad is an EDA software suite for the creation of professional schematics and printed circuit boards up to 32 copper layers with additional technical layers. KiCad runs on Windows, Linux and Apple OS X and is released under the open-source GNU GPL v2 free of charge.
GNU LibreDWG is a free C library to handle DWG files. It aims to be a free replacement for the OpenDWG libraries. DWG is the native file format of AutoCAD. GNU LibreDWG is based on LibDWG, originally written by Felipe Castro.
Gmsh is an open source 3D finite element mesh generator with a built-in CAD engine and post-processor. Its design goal is to provide a fast, light and user-friendly meshing tool with parametric input and flexible visualization capabilities. Gmsh is built around four modules (geometry, mesh, solver and post-processing), which can be controlled with the graphical user interface, from the command line, using text files written in Gmsh's own scripting language (.geo files), or through the C++, C, Py
Everything you need to design, simulate and fly better rockets OpenRocket is a free, fully featured model rocket simulator that allows you to design and simulate your rockets before you build and flying them.
FreeCAD is a general purpose parametric 3D CAD modeler based on the OpenCASCADE geometry kernel. It's written in Python and its GUI utilizes Qt. It provides a modular plugin architecture and extensibility via macros and scripts, but already comes with a wide range of 2D and 3D property editing tools and transformation filters, simulation and rendering backends. Various export formats include STEP, IGES, OBJ, STL, DXF, SVG, STL, DAE, IFC or OFF, NASTRAN, VRML, DWG, and the native FCSTD files.
LibreCAD is a cross-platform 2D Computer-Aided-Drawing application derived from QCad, and extends it with CAM functionality. It supports DXF, LFF, CXF, and JWW files, can export to common bitmap graphics formats and SVG.
OpenCSG is a library that does image-based CSG rendering using OpenGL. CSG is short for "constructive solid geometry" and represents a modeling technique for composing shapes with 3D-primitives which are combined using volumetric boolean operations. Image-based CSG rendering means rendering CSG shapes without calculating their surface in object-space. Instead, the image of a CSG shape is composed directly in the frame-buffer of the graphics hardware by rather sophisticated stenciling and z-buff
A typical application developed using OCCT deals with two or three-dimensional (2D or 3D) geometric modeling in general-purpose or specialized Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems, manufacturing or analysis applications, simulation applications, or even illustration tools.library designed for rapid production of sophisticated domain-specific CAD/CAM/CAE applications
Automatic Drawing Generation is a GObject-based library that provides a non-interactive Cairo canvas specifically designed for generating technical drawings. It is intended to be used by software developers to integrate mass customization applications or to supersede parametric CAD workflows.
A DXF, DWG file viewer that integrates to the desktop.
fcOpenShell is an open source (LGPL) software library that helps users and software developers to work with the IFC file format. The IFC file format can be used to describe building and construction data. The format is commonly used for Building Information Modelling. IfcOpenShell uses Open CASCADE (the Open CASCADE Community Edition) internally to convert the implicit geometry in IFC files into explicit geometry that any software CAD or modelling package can understand.
The Electric VLSI Design System is an open-source Electronic Design Automation (EDA) system that can handle many forms of circuit design, including: Custom IC layout Schematic Capture (digital and analog) Textual Languages (such as VHDL and Verilog) ...and much more. Electric is free software, and is an official GNU package.
