guile-exprcad is a computer-aided design (CAD) library for Guile.
This project is still very much work in progress!
The library allows building CAD models in a functional programming style. It uses an immutable data structure to represent geometric shapes.
Most of the heavy lifting is done by Open CASCADE Technology.
Place the following code in a file called model.scm:
(use-modules ((exprcad) #:prefix exprcad:))
(define model
(exprcad:box 1 2 3))
(exprcad:export-step-file "model.step" model)Then, run the script:
guile -s ./model.scmThis generates the chosen shape and exports it to a STEP file called model.step.
Currently, the code is the documentation as the library is still under heavy development.
On Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm), download or build the .deb file, then install it:
apt install ./guile-exprcad_*_amd64.debInstall the docker.io package and run the following command:
sudo DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --output type=tar,dest=build.tar .Then, extract the generated build.tar file into the build directory to obtain the package file:
tar --extract --file ./build.tar --one-top-level=build --strip-components=1guile-exprcad is inspired by these great projects:
