Unfortunately Open Cascade leaves a lot to be desired in terms of robustness and accuracy compared to e.g. Parasolid.
There isn't a lot of choice in the open source world, unfortunately. You have open cascade and cgal, and that's about it.
Must be somewhat reasonable, FreeCAD uses the library.
I'm using OC for some online 3d models merging and export with a c# wrapper. Never knew about alternatives. Thank you HN!
I came across Open Cascade while researching how to create an Onshape app and/or a standalone system that would resemble Onshape but for a fairly specific use case. Realizing the complexity was out of my league, I put it on the back burner. Seeing it here though has reignited my interest in it. If I wanted to build an app that would launch in a tab in an Obshape document, could it be built with Open Cascade? Even if it can be, is there a better way to do it? How do these answers change if I also want to have a standalone system (still web based) to offer non Onshapers?
Thanks!
Thanks!
What has helped me a lot is this project https://docs.xbim.net/- a .NET Wrapper for OpenCascade and an IFC Reader. The source code is easy to understand and i could just dive into it and see how to handle some of the more complex Open Cascade functions.
