Mechanical Blender was a project about giving CAD features to blender.
Following rules about Blender’s name usage, it’s name has changed! Having a Blender add-on or workspace configuration to help CAD designers is very welcome, but Blender Foundation can not help with that, as they are not CAD developers or users.
The idea of the project is giving a set of python of python scripts and patches that could be applied on blender sources. Not making a fork. This is done mainly because makes the development easier. Any patch (or idea) applied back to blender sources, will be a victory.
The project itself has been restarted at least 3 times. I’ll try to success this time, the experience is a plus I’m currently working on importing things that were developed in the past.
You can follow the project progress on tornavís website and patreon Any help or contribution is welcome.
