Scadla Rendering Backend based on Open CASCADE

WORK IN PROGRESS

A rendering backend based on Open CASCADE Community Edition and using the Open CASCADE Java wrapper from jCAE for Scadla.

Setup

1. Install oce: see https://github.com/tpaviot/oce
2. run the jCAE_setup.sh script
3. clone scadla (https://github.com/dzufferey/scadla) into a separate folder and run sbt publishLocal
4. run sbt compile in this folder

OCE Specific Operations

Compared to Scadla which was mostly inspired by OpenSCAD, the supported operations are a bit different.

We get the basic Boolean operations: Intersection, Union, and Difference.

What we do not have is the Minkowski sum and convex Hull.

Then we have some new operations. Open CASCADE is based on B-rep which decompose 3D objects along the topological features and each feature has an associated geometry. Therefore, the operations are structured a bit differently. A operation selects features and modify them is a particular way.
