 Depends: assimp
+Homepage: http://assimp.sourceforge.net/
+Pkg-Description: Open Asset Import Library
+ Open Asset Import Library (short name: Assimp) is a portable Open Source 
+ library to import various well-known 3D model formats  in a uniform manner. 
+ The most recent version also knows how to export 3d files and is therefore 
+ suitable as a general-purpose 3D model converter. See the feature list.
+ .
+ Assimp aims to provide a full asset conversion pipeline for use in game 
+ engines / realtime rendering systems of any kind, but it is not limited 
+ to this purpose. 
+ In the past, it has been used in a wide range of applications.
+ .
+ Written in C++, it is available under a liberal BSD license. There is a 
+ C API as well as bindings to various other languages, including C#/.net, 
+ Python and D. Assimp loads all input model formats into one straightforward 
+ data structure for further processing. This feature set is augmented by 
+ various post processing tools, including frequently-needed operations such 
+ as computing normal and tangent vectors.

+Pkg-Description: 3D modelling and rendering studio
+ Art of Illusion is a free, open source 3D modelling and rendering studio. 
+ Many of its capabilities rival those found in commercial programs. 
+ Highlights include subdivision surface based modelling tools, skeleton 
+ based animation, and a graphical language for designing procedural textures 
+ and materials..

+Pkg-Description: cad environment
+ Our primary goal is to create a great, full featured, 3D, cad environment 
+ for all cad users. Including: Eng, Design, Drafting, Arch, Elec, Mech, 
+ Plumbing, CNC, etc. Our 2nd goal is to make Blender more clean, so that 
+ it will be a better tool for artists.

+Pkg-Description: cross-platform open source solid modeling system
+ BRL-CAD is a powerful cross-platform open source solid modeling system 
+ that includes interactive geometry editing, high-performance ray-tracing 
+ for rendering and geometric analysis, image and signal-processing tools, 
+ a system performance analysis benchmark suite, libraries for robust 
+ geometric representation, with more than 20 years of active development.
 
 Depends: cadquery
+Homepage: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cadquery
+Pkg-Description: parametric scripting language for CAD models
+ 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!
+ .
+ CadQuery has several goals:
+ .
+ * Build models with scripts that are as close as possible to how you'd
+    describe the object to a human.
+ * Create parametric models that can be very easily customized by end users
+ * Output high quality CAD formats like STEP and AMF in addition to 
+   traditional STL
+ * Provide a non-proprietary, plain text model format that can be edited 
+   and executed with only a web browser
+ .
+ Using CadQuery, you can write short, simple scripts that produce high 
+ quality CAD models.  It is easy to make many different objects

+Pkg-Description: parametric 3D modeler
+ FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler. Parametric modeling  allows you to 
+ easily modify your design by going back into your model history and 
+ changing its parameters. FreeCAD is open source (LGPL license) and 
+ completely modular, allowing for very advanced extension and customization.
+ .
+ FreeCAD is multiplatfom, and reads and writes many open file formats 
+ such as STEP, IGES, STL and others.

+Pkg-Description: CAD application
+ Import solid models from STEP and IGES files. Draw construction geometry 
+ and lines and arcs. Create new primitive solids, or make solids by 
+ extruding a sketch or by making a lofted solid between sketches. 
+ Modify solids using blending, or boolean operations. Save IGES, STEP 
+ and STL. Printer plot the 2D geometry or to HPGL. Import and export 
+ dxf files; lines, arcs, ellipses, splines and polylines are supported.

+Pkg-Description: CAE/CAD-preprocessor
+ A python gear generator that serves as CAE/CAD-preprocessor for involute 
+ gears based on pythonOCC. It allows for the computation of dynamic 
+ properties and the creation of exact geometries from a minimal input set.

+Pkg-Description: parametric 3d CAD program
+ SOLVESPACE is a parametric 3d CAD program. Applications include:
+  * modeling 3d parts . draw with extrudes, revolves, and Boolean 
+    (union / difference) operations
+  * modeling 2d parts . draw the part as a single section, and export 
+    DXF, PDF, SVG; use 3d assembly to verify fit
+  * 3d-printed parts . export the STL or other triangle mesh expected by 
+    most 3d printers
+  * preparing CAM data . export 2d vector art for a waterjet machine or 
+    laser cutter; or generate STEP or STL, for import into third-party 
+    CAM software for machining
+  * mechanism design . use the constraint solver to simulate planar or 
+    spatial linkages, with pin, ball, or slide joints
+  * plane and solid geometry . replace hand-solved trigonometry and 
+    spreadsheets with a live dimensioned drawing
