Show HN: Cadseer. a parametric solid modeling CAD desktop
application
Cadseer is in the same genre as: solidworks, inventor, freecad
etc... Cadseer is alpha software, so lots of missing features,
bugs, crashes, file incompatibilities etc... About me: I spent 15
years designing stamping dies on a high end cad system. During that
time, I also developed and marketed extensions/plugins toward that
cad system. Through that experience, I came disillusioned with
'vendor lock-in' and proprietary software in general. I basically
retired, took the vow of poverty and moved all my computing to open
source. I have since, and continue to, try and improve the open
source cad environment.
