OCCT3D 8.0: Evolving the Open Source Geometry Kernel
H.1309 (Van Rijn) | Day 2 | 15:40 - 16:20 | Speakers: Dmitrii Pasukhin
Abstract
OpenCascade Technology (OCCT) serves as the geometric backbone for the open-source CAD/CAM ecosystem, powering major platforms like FreeCAD, KiCad, and numerous industrial IFC viewers.
In this session, the member of OCCT3D (Capgemini Engineering) will unveil the roadmap and technical achievements of the upcoming Version 8.0.0 release. We will discuss the architectural evolution required to support modern modeling challenges and the balance between industrial robustness and open-source flexibility.
Key topics will include:
- The 8.0.0 Milestone: A breakdown of major breaking changes, API cleanups, and the transition strategies for developers.
- Core Algorithms: Improvements in Boolean operations, meshing robustness, and tolerance handling.
- Interoperability: Updates on data exchange formats.
This talk is essential for developers relying on OCCT for their applications and users interested in the future of the underlying kernel that drives open hardware design.
