looking for a technical person to build an open-source CAD prototype.

im a final year undergrad mechanical engineer working on a small and open-source parametric CAD prototype software for the past 1 year. some stuff which I have built have attracted small MSMEs and other founders who are working on text-to-CAD and generative CAD.

the goal is not a solidworks or any other CAD software replacement, but a clean and a fundamental approach to CAD. some of the features include parametric design and gd&t etc. i need someone who has a bit of CAD knowledge and the problems faced in the CAD software industry also some other stuff mentioned below.

current focus:
- parametric solid modeling (small scope)
- clean geometry core (likely opencascade / c++ or rust)
- simple architecture

i’m looking for a technical/core contributor who enjoys:
- computational geometry
- cad kernels / brep / csg
- c++ or rust systems work
- building things from first principles

this is open-source first, no hype and no guaranteed money in the beginning.

if this sounds interesting, comment or dm me with:
what you’ve built
what part you’d like to work on
happy to share more details privately.

ps: this is not just some text-to-CAD idea or where you inject AI/LLMs wherever you get to in this. i need someone who is really interested in building from scratch and especially who focuses on their fundamentals.
