gCAD3D is a 3D CAD-CAM application which features an integrated 3D OpenGL viewer, a program interpreter for geometry and NC-commands in 3D, and a programming interface for user programs.
It has support for importing Step files and support for both importing and exporting Iges, DXF, and VRML files.
Key Features
- Creation and analysis of geometry objects.
- Automatic compiling, link and reload at execution time.
- Import and export-programs (Step, Iges, VRML, DXF, SVG ..).
- Integrated 3D-OpenGL viewer.
- Program interpreter for geometry and NC commands in 3D:
- Creation of geometrical objects.
- NC-working, direct and program controlled.
- Preparation of data (building contours ..).
- Analysis of data.
- Display of 2D-drawings, 2D-models, pictures (bitmaps).
- All objects can be connected with interactions.
- Programming functions.
- Integrated NC processor.
- Programming interface for user programs (plugins).
