GSoC 2022 With BRL-CAD

BRL-CAD was accepted as an umbrella mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code! This year, we accepted 7 students to work on IfcOpenShell, BRL-CAD, KiCad, LibreCAD and OpenSCAD.


Accepted Projects

New BRL-CAD GUI

  • Description: The project adds a feature for selecting and resizing the primitive through mouse support and also extends the object-oriented C++ Geometry API which includes the C++ "coreInterface" & "LIBGED". The expected outcome will be an improved BRL-CAD GUI.

Test-Driven Development for BRL-CAD NURBS/Brep Boolean Operation

  • Description: Currently, BRL-CAD has implemented a series of NURBS and Brep operations, and in some cases it works well. But there are many cases to be tested, improved or solved like missing surfaces or solids and optimizing topology of Brep. This project works in Test-Driven Development(TDD), aims to test and develop NURBS/Brep part of BRL-CAD, to ensure correctness of geometry and topology in common and special cases.

BRL-CAD Project site

  • Description: This project targets redesigning and updating the official site for BRL-CAD, which will add more details to the site related to the organization. The project will be made using the latest technologies like React, Hugo, or other site generators. Another important aspect of the project would be to make this documentation on GitHub more accessible (https://github.com/BRL-CAD/brlcad-docs/).
