Open Source Python Frameworks

CadQuery is an intuitive, easy-to-use Python library for building parametric 3D CAD models. It has several goals. Build models with scripts that are as close as possible to how you’d describe the object to a human, using a standard, already established programming language. Create parametric models that can be very easily customized by end users. Output high-quality CAD formats like STEP and AMF in addition to traditional STL. Provide a non-proprietary, plain text model format that can be edited and executed with only a web browser. The scripts use a standard programming language, Python, and thus can benefit from the associated infrastructure. This includes many standard libraries and IDEs. CadQuery's CAD kernel Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) is much more powerful than the CGAL used by OpenSCAD. Features supported natively by OCCT include NURBS, splines, surface sewing, STL repair, STEP import/export, and other complex operations.

A community-maintained Python library for creating mathematical animations. Manim is a free and open-source project originally written by Grant Sanderson. It is now maintained by the Manim Community and permissively released under the MIT license. Manim was originally created by Grant Sanderson as a personal project and for use in his YouTube channel, 3Blue1Brown. As his channel gained popularity, many grew to like the style of his animations and wanted to use manim for their own projects. However, as manim was only intended for personal use, it was very difficult for other users to install and use it. Manim, or ManimCE refers to the community-maintained version of the library. This is the version documented on this website; the package name on PyPI is manim. ManimGL is the latest released version of the library developed by Grant “3b1b” Sanderson. It has more experimental features and breaking changes between versions are not documented.

MMDeploy is an open-source deep learning model deployment toolset. It is a part of the OpenMMLab project. Models can be exported and run in several backends, and more will be compatible. All kinds of modules in the SDK can be extended, such as Transform for image processing, Net for Neural Network inference, Module for postprocessing and so on. Install and build your target backend. ONNX Runtime is a cross-platform inference and training accelerator compatible with many popular ML/DNN frameworks. Please read getting_started for the basic usage of MMDeploy.

The GUIDOLib provides a powerful engine for the graphic rendering of music scores, based on the Guido Music Notation format. It supports Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Android and iOS operating systems. A Java JNI interface is available as well as a Javascript version of the library. A Web API has also been designed, allowing to deploy the engine as a Web service.

Strasheela is a constraint-based music composition system. The user defines music theories by sets of compositional rules and the system creates music which complies with these theories. User-interface is the programming language Oz.

Linderdaum Engine is an open source purely object-oriented 3D gaming engine written in C++. It is designed to be an integrated solution for the development of interactive 3D applications, for game, industrial and scientific visualization.

Blend_My_NFTs is an open-source, free-to-use Blender add-on that enables you to easily generate thousands of 3D Models, Animations, and Images. This add-on's primary purpose is to aid in the creation of large generative 3D NFT collections. It is the first and easiest 3D NFT generator. Blend_My_NFTs was initially developed to create Cozy Place, an NFT collection by This Cozy Studio Inc. Blend_My_NFTs works with Blender 3.2.2 on Windows 10 or macOS Big Sur 11.6. Linux is supported, however we haven't had the chance to test and guarantee this functionality. Windows 11 has not been tested as of yet. Any rendering engine works; Cycles, Eevee, and Octane have all been used by the community. This add-on only works in Blender, a Cinima 4D port is being investigated. Every object, model, texture, camera, light etc. must be in the same .blend file! If you have mulitiple .blend files, Blend_My_NFTs is unable to open and process them. It's recommended to keep your file's total size 5gb.
