by Matas Ubarevicius
In the last couple of weeks we've been discussing and experimenting with a new way to run and embed bitbybit scripts. The result of these experiments is a new tool called BITBYBIT-RUNNER.JS. You can now run your scripts on your own websites, blogs, webshops or third party coding sites.
TESTING 3D GEOMETRY ALGORITHMS IN OCCT
Short introduction to recent improvements in code quality
Apr 12, 2024
by Matas Ubarevicius
We've been working on improving the quality of our core codebase by adding new unit tests and restructuring the code in the @bitbybit-dev/occt layer. In this article, we'll explain why these changes were necessary and how they benefit our platform's users.
RELEASE NOTES 0.15.8
New feature for offsets and quality improvements.
Apr 12, 2024

This time we mostly focused on improving the quality of our @bitbybit-dev/occt layer. Offsets were extended to support adding face for guidance.
RELEASE NOTES 0.15.7
New features for creating circular edges and small fixes.
Apr 5, 2024
by Matas Ubarevicius
This release builds on top of features presented in the previous release. This time we implemented few powerful new methods to create circles in between other circles or a circle and a point.
RELEASE NOTES 0.15.6
New features for creating wires and faces from two or more circles. This is very useful when designing complex mechanical parts.

This time there are a lot of new features making it easier to work with circles, arcs and vertex type shapes. All of the algorithms in this release are open-sourced under MIT and are included in our NPM packages.
MOOS MODULAR HOUSING CONFIGURATOR
We had the pleasure of collaborating with Leon Spikker to develop an easy-to-use modular housing configurator for our valued Dutch client, 'In The Middle Of Our Street' BV (MOOS). The end result is a fantastic tool that we are incredibly proud of.

by Matas Ubarevicius
This new innovative tool simplifies the exploration of countless configuration options provided by MOOS housing modules. Our team programmed a user-friendly web application that enables users to effortlessly select different parameters and view real-time 3D model and data changes. We're thrilled to have played a part in bringing this project to life!
MIXED REALITY CAD
Our latest experiment demonstrates that it is possible to use our CAD algorithms in a mixed reality environment.
Feb 17, 2023
by Matas Ubarevicius
We have created a small application that utilizes Meta Quest Pro to display and interact with parametric 3D models in a mixed reality environment. The 3D models are generated using a combination of open-source and proprietary CAD algorithms, and we have also developed a custom WebXR interaction layer for our internal use in the application. This allows users to manipulate the 3D models in real-time using a range of intuitive and user-friendly tools, enhancing the immersive and interactive experience of using CAD in the metaverse.

GOLDEN AGE FOR OPEN-SOURCE CAD AND AI
Open-source CAD software and AI have the potential to revolutionize the field by providing a platform for collaboration and innovation. Closed-source ecosystems may struggle to keep up due to proprietary restrictions and a focus on commercial interests over innovation.

by Matas Ubarevicius & ChatGPT
The field of computer-aided design (CAD) has come a long way since its inception, with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) set to revolutionize the industry even further. In this blog post, we will explore how open-source CAD software can enhance AI, and vice versa. Additionally, we will discuss why closed-source ecosystems may not benefit from the AI revolution in the same way that open-source software will.
