CQ at FOSDEM 2020 - please share your success stories #242

Closed adam-urbanczyk closed 4 years ago

adam-urbanczyk commented 4 years ago

We will have a talk at FOSDEM 2020 in the Open Source Computer Aided Modeling and Design devroom. It would be great to show a slide with interesting models made by the users. Please share them here (preferably on white background)!

Toy project, but public... :wink:

I used it in a couple of pieces for a robot: rim, mount.

@adam-urbanczyk Thanks for taking this on. I hope they take a video of the presentation. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

@Peque Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

This project is from 2015, but I think it's kind of interesting. It used equations from a Jupyter notebook to drive the generation of a cold gas thruster nozzle using CadQuery (I coded the CadQuery model generation). The nozzle was then 3D printed for testing. A presentation was given in 2015 at the Open Hardware Summit, and I can check with the organization (Mach 30) to get a full resolution version of the diagram shown there if you want to include it.

I put this together a few weeks ago for the community's benefit. Feel free to pull whatever assets you wish: https://github.com/fx-bricks/fx-cad-notes

@adam-urbanczyk thanks for participating in fosdem.

Doesn't Kicad use Cadquery to build its model repo? I think it still uses cq 1.0

Yes. It is still based on CQ 1.0 AFAIK.

@easyw Can you comment on the above, please?

bragostin commented 4 years ago

I could share this Gyroïd surface gyroid but this is done with the Implementation of BRepOffsetAPI_MakeFilling #253 pull request, so that's not part of the master branch of CadQuery.

adam-urbanczyk commented 4 years ago

Cool @bragostin , could you share what is your application of CQ?

bragostin commented 4 years ago

@adam-urbanczyk these are cooling fins. Triply periodic surfaces are supposed to offer a better ratio of heat transfer over pressure drop.

adam-urbanczyk commented 4 years ago

I added some screenshots to the slides - thanks for your help @bragostin @michaelgale @Peque @jmwright !
