Matt Keeter has released Halfspace, an experimental integrated development environment for solid modeling built on distance fields, a technique that represents 3D shapes mathematically rather than with traditional meshes. The project is drawing attention from the software and CAD community, where interest is growing in code-driven and computational approaches to 3D design.

Hackaday reports on a project that applies OpenSCAD, the open-source 3D modelling language usually used for CAD design, to gardening. The write-up has drawn attention among maker and gardening enthusiasts curious about how parametric design tools can be repurposed for planning or building garden structures.

A hobbyist has designed and 3D printed an unusual custom part with a spiral inset featuring an internal grid structure, created in CAD software. The purpose is being kept secret until the wider project is finished and shared. Fellow makers are responding to the technical challenge of modelling the spiral interior.
