GSoC 2023 With BRL-CAD

BRL-CAD was accepted as an umbrella mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code! This year, we accepted 5 students to work on IfcOpenShell, BRL-CAD, KiCad, Appleseed and OpenSCAD.

Accepted Projects

NURBS Editing Support in BRL-CAD

  • Description: NURBS is a basic function for BRL-CAD and BRL-CAD has support for some functions based on brep using openNURBS library. Beyond basic operations such as rotation and translation, the BRL-CAD core has no ability to edit them. This project would implement support for creating and editing geometry and topology in the BRL-CAD core, thus creating the prerequisites to handle them with higher level (i.e. GUI) tools.

Updating Appleseed: Python 3 and Dependencies

  • Description: The Appleseed project needs to update its Python codebase from Python 2 to Python 3 and update the PyQT code and GUI to PyQT6. The update will include updating the Boost C++ Libraries and ensuring compatibility with other dependencies. The project aims to ensure the long-term sustainability of Appleseed by modernizing the codebase and improving the user experience.
