Show HN: BRep Geometric CAD Kernel and Parametric Code CADhttps://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/I'm pretty excited to show off something I've been working on for the past few months. A free, open-source geometric kernel that allows humans/LLMs to write code (in this case, a DSL called Firmament) and generate 3D models of CAD parts, to finally provide an alternative to OpenCascade.To get some questions out of the way. - Full STEP import/export support for AP242, AP203 and AP214 are still experimental at the time, but everything produced by Aetheris should open in any CAD app with STEP support. - Support for single edge/planar fillets/chamfers right now, should be more than sufficient for most CNC/3D printing use cases. - Fillets: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/testd... - Chamfers: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/testd... - Supports dimensional/GD&T annotation via STEP 242's semantic PMI. - Kernel is written entirely in C#, with bindings for Go, Rust, Python, and TypeScript available.If you just want to vibe-CAD, clone the repo, run itAug 19, 2026 3:09 PM

Show HN: Pack AI and scientific models as self-contained boxeshttps://github.com/suffro/scrollcaseHi! I've been working on an open-source project called Scrollcase. I started this cause moving Python or ML projects between machines is often painful. You need the right Python version, libraries, native builds, model files, and so on. So instead of making someone rebuild a Python environment on their machine, Scrollcase packages everything once, including Python, locked dependencies, code, and model files.Then they can verify it, unpack it, and run it. No Python install, no pip install, no Docker, and no dependency to mantain. You just define what goes inside, lock the dependencies, and build a portable, self-contained, verifiable package that's ready to run.Would love feedback from people who had to package Python, ML, or scientific environments for machines they don't control.Aug 19, 2026 2:27 PM
