About Antimony
Antimony is a computer-aided design (CAD) tool that reimagines 3D modeling through a graph-based approach. Built on Python 3.x, it allows users to create and manipulate shapes using nodes and connections, enabling complex designs with ease. The tool features a robust geometry engine for solid modeling, a standard library of shapes and transforms, and support for 2.5D and 3D exports. Antimony is under active development and offers opportunities for customization and contribution.
FAQ
A prebuilt Mac application can be downloaded from the Github releases page. The source code is also available on Github with instructions for building it on Mac and Linux.
Antimony uses Python 3.x plus a few extra magic keywords for defining nodes and scripts.
Yes, Antimony can export .stl files for 3D manufacturing. The .stl export includes feature detection to keep corners and edges sharp.
Yes, Antimony is a long-running project under active development. It is currently at a beta level of stability, meaning it is solid but not recommended for mission-critical use.
For help with Antimony or any open-source projects maintained by Matt Keeter, please open an issue in the relevant repository. Private emails for support are discouraged to help others with similar questions.
Yes, while most users will be satisfied with the built-in shapes, it is also possible to define custom shapes. Shapes are represented with a prefix string syntax that is easy to parse but a bit cryptic to decipher.
The provided text does not specify system requirements for running Antimony.
Antimony's geometry engine uses functional representations for solid modeling, which is particularly suitable for modeling with boolean operations like union, intersection, and difference.
