Google Summer of Code 2017

From FreeCAD Documentation

Google Summer of Code

FreeCAD did not yet participate in Googles student codeing programm (GSoC), 2016 is the first attempt. As other open source CAD programms issues a combined proposal the year before we may get involved in this effort before trying a own submission.

Possible Mentors

Ickby, Yorik

Implementation Ideas

The ideas listed here have a high chance of being accepted as project proposal. Note that for students already longer involved in FreeCAD, and which already contributed code, own ideas in their line of work are also welcome.

Topic Language Difficulty Contact
Advance FreeCAD test system: Create a framework for result file based comparisons and workbench specific comparators. Also creation of test cases should be simplified by a GUI or wizard. Python/C++ Medium Ickby
Topological Naming Project: Theory evaluation of possible algorithms in respect to FreeCADs internal architecture and implementation of a prototype to show the general applicability of the choosen approach. C++ Hard Ickby
Direct modeling tools: Create a new layer of tools and objects, that work on top of existing Part-based 3D objects, that allow a user to graphically modify their geometry. Python/C++ Medium Yorik
[[FEM Post Processing based on VTK]: Advance the currently prototyped FEM post processing based on the vtk library with more functionality and ensure a better itnegration into the workbench C++ Medium Ickby
