  1. …to collaborate and compare notes? It's a lot of work trying to maintain something like this solo. https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris
  2. https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris Already made the geometry kernel. So far, nobody has offered me even like 20 dollars to license it yet, nevermind millions of dollars.
  3. …code for a threaded bolt I built for a showcase here with the JSON like DSL called Firmament: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/fixtu... So, the high-level surface language of defining a screw thread is basically a…
  4. …a conventional 3D CAD UI on it that I'm honestly hoping someone would throw their LLM at that task. https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/ Also, sorry about the excessive self-promotion, but I think most people would be shouting from…
  5. …this came up, for people who like code CAD and want to try something more powerful than OpenSCAD: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/ Not an OpenCascade wrapper, it's based off my own experimental BREP geometry kernel. So,…
  6. Hey, so a bit of self-promotion for some free software I built that you may be interested in. https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/ It's a code-first CAD kernel/toolkit specifically to help LLMs with CAD stuff, it's currently AI…

  7. …the drawing in focus to avoid getting distracted by the dimensions they don't need in their vision. https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/sampl... The initial dimensions of this phone were one-shot by Codex Astra from the…

  8. …of a popular phone with exact parametric dimensions just from the 2D drawing, took like an hour: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/sampl... Completely free and open source, you can use your own Claude/Codex to start…

  9. Lots of things really: 1. Aetheris: geometry CAD kernel, https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/ . Full code CAD capability with big coverage already and some functionalities that even OpenCascade/Parasolid/ACIS doesn't have, full…
  10. …want to clone the repo to give it a try with their Claude/GPT to see they do better on my thing? https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/ It's still kinda buggy but they are actively getting fixed, but Claude and GPTs seemed to work…
  11. …very, very, difficult to make one. Lucky for you, I made one that you can try out for vibe-CADing. https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/ I don't really want to self promote too much here, but currently the other options to do LLM CAD…

    Show HN: BRep Geometric CAD Kernel and Parametric Code CAD
    story by YuechenLi · 2026-08-19 · 0 comments
  13. https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris So, yeah, mine is full geometry kernel that was made for CAD. I'll do a full write-up on Show HN later as there is just way too much stuff to cover for the project. The gist of it is that it is a…
