Curv
A language for making art using mathematics
Curv is a programming language for creating art using mathematics. It's a 2D and 3D geometric modelling tool that supports full colour, animation and 3D printing. Curv is a simple, powerful, dynamically typed, pure functional programming language. Curv is easy to use for beginners. It has a standard library of predefined geometric shapes, plus operators for transforming and combining shapes. These can be plugged together like Lego to make 2D and 3D models. Coloured shapes are represented using Function Representation (F-Rep). They can be infinitely detailed, infinitely large, and any shape or colour pattern that can be described using mathematics can be represented exactly. Curv exposes the full power of F-Rep programming to experts. The standard geometry library is written entirely in Curv. Many of the demos seen on shadertoy.com can be reproduced in Curv, using shorter, simpler programs. Experts can package techniques used on shadertoy as high-level operations for use by beginners. -

ImatiSTL
Fix STL files for 3D printing
ImatiSTL is a C++ library for applications that need to finely post-process raw polygon meshes represented by STL files. It is particularly useful in 3D printing scenarios: the repairing functions provided by ImatiSTL bridge the gap between printable meshes and real-world meshes with diverse potential defects and flaws (e.g. degenerate triangles, self-intersections, surface holes, ...). ImatiSTL provides both functions for local mesh repairing and methods for global remeshing. Local repairing is useful when the available data must remain exactly as it is in the input STL file, whereas global remeshing may fix even highly corrupted meshes at the cost of a small distortion in the resulting fixed mesh. -

Encrust
Fast, free resin slicer for MSLA and SLA printers
Encrust is a free, open-source slicer for MSLA and SLA resin 3D printers. It checks every layer of the file it writes for islands, suction cups, thin walls and hard peel before you print, and that check runs in the same pass as the slice: a million-triangle model is sliced, written and checked in 0.72 seconds on an eight-core computer. Supports, hollowing, drain holes, auto-orientation and a command line are all included. There's no paid tier, no account and no cloud, and your files never leave your computer. Encrust runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and in the browser at encrust.app/app. Encrust is in alpha. The whole pipeline works and has printed real parts, but only one printer (ELEGOO Saturn 4 Ultra) is confirmed so far. Start other printers with a small calibration print.
