I just saw the announcement via Facebook of all places. I thought, it cannot be what I spent time working on, but indeed it is!! Admittedly it did bring a huge smile on my face!
Just a little update, I am in the process of wrapping up my PhD towards the end of the year (fingers crossed), so will be starting the thesis write-up in the next month or too. I've been out of the community for a long time, but it is great to see everything in FreeCAD, and this module is starting to come nicely together. Over the past two years, I have learned a lot of programming skills and knowledge, but I also have gained an idea of where future research and development for tools and design is heading. 3D Printing/AM is bringing a complete different design methodology and will require a new set of tools and thinking.
BTW, I am still waiting for the FreeCAD world conference to happen!
I wish to give a big thank you to Ian, wandererfan, Yorik, and those I am not aware of, for keeping this alive and developing this into a mature feature since its inception over three years ago.
Bravo!!
