https://github.com/nasa-jpl/open-source ... ration/CADThe JPL Open Source Rover is an open source, build it yourself, scaled down version of the 6 wheel rover design that JPL uses to explore the surface of Mars. The Open Source Rover is designed almost entirely out of consumer off the shelf (COTS) parts. This project is intended to be a teaching and learning experience for those who want to get involved in mechanical engineering, software, electronics, or robotics.

Re: JPL Open Source Rover Project
...And another open source project using a proprietary closed-source CAD program (Solidworks).
I guess the JPL uses it for all their internal CAD projects.

Re: JPL Open Source Rover Project
I wonder if the community here can get behind boosting the visibility of https://github.com/nasa-jpl/open-source-rover/issues/33
by ing it. I wonder how much traction we could get??

The uncompressed Rover.step has a size of 110 MB, loading needs a while.Kunda1 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 2:41 pm I wonder if the community here can get behind boosting the visibility of https://github.com/nasa-jpl/open-source-rover/issues/33

The model has hundreds of parts. When showing all, the GUI is very slow.
A 90 degree rotation needs 20 sec. I see 2 ways to speed this up:
1. hide all unnecessary parts like little srews, washers, nuts, distance-plates.
(there are a lot of them...)
2. or buy a workstation with high end graphics.
My FC-file has 186 MB. The model-tree is one mile long.
Re: JPL Open Source Rover Project
FreeCAD need some steps to be an high end CAD software programm!!
Re: JPL Open Source Rover Project
Have you tried with A3 branch and a good OpenGL video card?
Recently this has been improved a lot.
here a screencast with 1GB step file!!!

Re: JPL Open Source Rover Project
Also in standard FreeCAD (0.17/0.18) you can see the effect of OpenGL Vertex Buffer Option.
It's in the Display panel in preferences.
@Kunda, I am surprised that you didn't mention that the "compelling reason" for including .FCstd format would be that using an OpenSource modeler for an OpenSource project would be preferred. I do understand their point that unless someone re-modeled the whole project with FreeCAD, .stp is probably good enough.
Really cool project though.

about 4 min to load with AMS3 0.8.6
but moving the view is not fully fluent, but according the numbers of parts it is not shocking.

Re: JPL Open Source Rover Project
Would this rover file be useful as a test file ?
