PADGen: Open-Source Parametric 3D Design Generator

Parametric 3D design generator for creating parametric parts, assemblies, and drawings, allowing engineers to quickly generate 3D CAD models based on parameters and constraints.

What is PADGen?

PADGen is an open-source parametric 3D design application focused on the ease and speed of creating parametric parts, assemblies, and drawings. It is built for mechanical engineers who need customizable CAD models and technical documentation.

Key features include:

• Intuitive drag and drop workflow for building 3D geometry
• Inbuilt intelligence to add appropriate constraints and relationships between entities automatically
• Parametric capabilities to control dimensions and properties
• Associative drawing view creation from 3D parts and assemblies with automated BOMs
• Customizable templates and catalogues
• Collaboration tools for sharing models and libraries
• Programming SDK for developing plugins and custom automation
• Full compatibility with SolidWorks file formats

By using PADGen, engineers can drastically accelerate the creation of standardized yet flexible CAD models, reducing time spent on repetitive design tasks. The simple user interface allows engineers to focus their efforts on high-value activities like innovation and optimization rather than geometry creation.
