There's a new int function in KCL in today's v0.24.5 release, which means you can do math in patternTransform's, so @frank_noirot used it to make responsive rack gear

AI Revolutionizes Hardware Development
Jordan dives into:
- Why @zoodotdev started by building a novel geometry engine
- How the founding team’s background led to Zoo’s products
- The impact of generative AI on hardware design
- Zoo’s expansion from software for hardware design, to software for the full hardware development cycle
- Why they open sourced their software

The other day someone told me “you should have your labelers do X”
I laughed so hard, we wish we had labelers! We have two nerds in a dark room* in Ohio! At launch it was 1 nerd!
Suffice to say, the model will only get better.
*the room is not actually dark afaik
yeah, it's officially the future.
(holy fck, yelling at my computer in bisbelief again)

We have various CAD tools to build rockets and houses, but not both at the same time. So if you need to make a colony in space, you’re stuck. Or not? I am happy to share that from now on, I'm helping @zoodotdev build tools that will bring us to interstellar travel: 🧵thread 1/8

Once prominent, they’re one of the few to have succeeded. Too much talent is chasing software, much like Hollywood has too much talent chasing acting.
It’s silly to have 10 talented entrepreneurs all chase same SaaS niche when they could be epically successful in heavy industry.

@GilmourSpace has been granted a launch facility licence for its Bowen Orbital Spaceport in north Queensland.
The licence, issued by Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic MP, is the first for an orbital launch facility in Australia.

We will eventually design a rocket this way, big deal.

Parametric modeling, assembly, constraints, awesome problem to solve!

Very excited for the @zoodotdev rebrand and launching text-to-cad! Try it out in our discord discord.gg/JQEpHR7Nt2 or online text-to-cad.zoo.dev! More information here: zoo.dev/blog/introducing-tex…

This week at work, I'm making KittyCAD language "compiled" instead of "interpreted" (using both terms loosely, as the language "compiles" into API calls).
First step was to work on the intermediate representation (IR). Big milestone, the IR can represent a cube-drawing program!

I think our command bar in @KittyCADInc Modeling App could replace the dialog-based UI that existing CAD tools use. What do you think? Discussion here: github.com/KittyCAD/modeling…
