I implemented an offset module in RapCAD a while ago. I developed it primarily for calculating print outlines, since the outline must be smaller than the required shape by half the width of the printed filament. The module can also be very useful in other applications such as creating a hollowed out shape. Usually we...»

Breaking with tradition I have decided to do a release on the 16th this month instead of the 8th. Then the following release I plan to do on the 32nd, which of course doesn’t exist so it will actually be the 1st of month. The reason for this is just for fun, and because I...»

A few things have been added to RapCAD in the last 6 months so I decided to make a new release. Hopefully now that the release scripts are working on the build server I will be able to make releases more frequently, assuming that enough gets added to the code base to warrant a new...»

I haven’t been able to work on RapCAD for a few months as I have been busy with other activities. I have however been contacted by a few people who are still interested in the project. I have even had one person willing to help out with the coding, so I would like to take...»

I have been starting to think about how to integrate the controls for my Reprap Mendel into RapCAD. I was inspired by Kliments pronterface console which as well as being colorful also looks very intuitive and clutter free.

Because of this, I have not done much development on RapCAD this month just a few bug fixes. Version 0.5.0 is available this month....»

Just a short post this month. I just wanted to give an example of dynamic arrays which are available in RapCAD version 0.4.0. The screenshot shows what I came up with. Not very exciting, but hoping that this will help William Adams to realise some ideas that he has had regarding this. The thing that...»

The syntax for importing modules into rapcad is quite different from the legacy way of doing it. I decided to break compatibility because of a number of problems with the old syntax, that arise when you want to quickly scan for dependencies. Lets first consider a valid example using the old syntax. module foo(){ module...»

The intention of RapCAD is to provide a programmers IDE that will allow the user to not only model their ideas, but also prototype and manufacture those ideas. Initially the focus is to support additive machines like Reprap and Makerbot. However maybe people will want to use it one day for controlling subtractive machines such...»

I decided to build a binary release of RapCAD so that people can have a look at how things are coming along without having to compile it. Its very much in a pre-alpha state so don’t expect to be able to just try out your latest greatest design and just expect it to work. Furthermore...»
