BRL-CAD is a free, open-source 3D solid modeling system for CSG editing, ray-traced rendering, geometric analysis, and format conversion.
About BRL-CAD
BRL-CAD is a cross-platform solid modeling system centered on constructive solid geometry (CSG). Its tools support interactive 3D geometry creation and editing, Boolean combinations of solids, ray-traced rendering, geometric analysis, and conversion between BRL-CAD databases and other geometry formats.
The package includes the MGED geometry editor, rendering and analysis utilities, image-processing tools, a benchmark suite, and geometry libraries for application developers. It is distributed as free and open-source software for desktop and workstation environments, including Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, and Solaris.
