![]() ![]() ValueC = foo.valueA + foo.myFunc(valueB) // use the myFunc function of foo to calculate valueC To start, I would propose an extension of the "dot" notation, that would allow one to refer to a value declaration and/orįunction or module component of another module with a dot. I propose would ease a lot of frustrations with some of the inherent limitations of the language without I'm no computer language expert, but I think the extensions I have been playing around with ways in which the basic syntax might be extended that would provide moreįlexibility and power in creating 3D models. Limitations, like being unable to interrogate values. I've been working with OpenSCAD for a couple of years now, and while frustrating I appreciate problematic nature of the inherent Module as that seemed to me the simplest way for my Python code to do WhenĬlikScad creates the OpenSCAD code every one of those will be in an OpenSCAD I use the word "element" to describe the parts in one of my ClikScad models.Īn element could be a cube, a sphere, a difference, a module etc. I don't really have any suggestion for the terminology. Make it easy to create or edit a polygon or its 3D equivalent. Polygon intersect so I thought you were referring to something that would The word "node" conjured up in my mind the point where two sides of a > Is there some other terminology you feel would be better, or which you > interface, and I'd like to fill in any gaps on such systems. > discussion of your program spurred the mention of Blender having such an > It's the description of connected block diagramming/programming tools. There's a better way to do this? I was successful with modeling a ChineseĬheckers board and projecting it into 2D so as to export a DXF: OpenSCAD support for drawing in 2D - I'm currently re-creating projects in a formal technique/site for placing OpenSCAD projects online which isn't BlockSCAD available as an alternate interface in OpenSCAD: Is there anything else which I've missed? I'd welcome any additions or ![]() Tool Path Language - an opensource extension of JavaScript to create Maker.JS - a Microsoft Garage project extending node.js for making Units in graphics (PDFs or SVGs) are rounded off, so only suited toĭecorative use, or use with single-piece projects (a sundial has been done) Nodebox - elegant programmatic 2D drawing with nodes - unfortunately, ![]() Processing - programming based on JavaScript - its use forĬNC/CAD/CAM is described in the book _Make: Design for CNC Furniture Unfortunate that access to it is so limited Antimony/Kokopelli - I wish this ran on Windows - I may break downĪnd get a Mac at some point, or find time to set up a Linux box, but it's OpenJSCAD - version of this in the Microsoft Store, also available on For OpenSCAD and similar tools there is: There is an add-on modeled on Grasshopper: Blender - in addition to the native node system (for materials only?) Rhino has an optional node system, Grasshopper which affords full control To ensure that my ignorance becomes less, I would appreciate anything whichįolks could share to expand/correct the following: Empirical data suggest that the acid-generating potential of antimony mine waste is low.My thanks to Doug Moen for pointing out Blender's node functionality which I Global emissions of antimony to the atmosphere average 6,100 metric tons per year. The presence of antimony in surface waters and groundwaters results primarily from rock weathering, soil runoff, and anthropogenic sources. The most common antimony ore mineral is stibnite (Sb2 S3 ), but more than 100 other minerals also contain antimony. The most significant antimony mineral deposits occur in geologic environments with a thick sequence of siliciclastic sedimentary rocks in areas with significant fault and fracture systems. Resources in the United States are located mainly in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Nevada. China has the bulk of the world’s identified resources other countries that have identified antimony resources include Bolivia, Canada, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Tajikistan, and Turkey. Antimony resources are unevenly distributed around the world. The great majority of the world’s antimony comes from China, and much of the remainder is shipped to China for smelting. Government has considered antimony to be a critical mineral mainly because of its use in military applications. Antimony’s leading use is as a fire retardant in safety equipment and in household goods, such as mattresses. The element imparts strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance to alloys that are used in many areas of industry, including in lead-acid storage batteries. Antimony is an important mineral commodity used widely in modern industrialized societies.
