PicoGK

PicoGK is an compact and robust open-source geometry kernel for Computational Engineering. It is actively developed by @leap.71.

[PicoGK @PicoGK]

PicoGK is a comprehensive #computationalgeometry framework released under the #opensource Apache 2.0 license. The core was authored by @linkayser with #ComputationalEngineering modules written by @LissnerJosefine. PicoGK is maintained by @leap_71.

Working on industry interop. Geometries generated in PicoGK, can now be saved to the #CLI file format, that's readable by virtually any industrial 3D printer. No more sending large meshes around.

So proud of @LissnerJosefine - steely-eyed rocket woman. We just test fired a 5kN kerolox thruster, designed completely in-house at @leap_71 - it performed flawlessly and reached steady state. Kerosene regeneratively cooled and cryogenic liquid oxygen as oxidizer. Koaxial swirl injectors. Generated entirely through #ComputationalEngineering and built on @PicoGK - #nocad

[LEAP 71 @leap_71]

We released @PicoGK v1.6 last week, which builds upon the support for Vector and Scalar Fields, introduced in v1.5. Fully automated exchange of field data, using the #OpenVDB file format, can revolutionize how computational models feed into #NumericalSimulation.

[PicoGK @PicoGK]

We just released PicoGK v1.6, adding headless mode, and new scalar field functions. https://t.co/fDnsocL176 @leap_71 @linkayser

On stage for @PicoGK - which won in the #3dpioneerschallenge @leap_71

[LEAP 71 @leap_71]

We just won an award in the #3DPioneersChallenge for @PicoGK our open-source geometry kernel for #ComputationalEngineering. We built PicoGK for one of our first projects at LEAP 71 — a dual metal #3DPrinted #Aerospike rocket engine.

[PicoGK @PicoGK]

We released PicoGK v1.5 with a focus on interacting with external simulation packages. PicoGK now has data types for vector and scalar fields and introduces a standard way of exchanging information through the #OpenVDB file format. Check it out here: https://t.co/Ghk6DNWOoc

[Lin Kayser @linkayser]

I just committed to writing a book that teaches engineers how to code. https://t.co/LYQRJsxs5N

[PicoGK @PicoGK]

Want to learn how to code on #PicoGK, follow along.

[Lin Kayser @linkayser]

I will release the book chapter by chapter on GitHub and https://t.co/zgZFaFmkf0

[LEAP 71 @leap_71]

Could structures based on #quasicrystals and #aperiodic tilings, such as #penrosetiles change how we do engineering in certain fields? We think yes, so we are releasing our #quasicrystal library as #opensource on @PicoGK https://t.co/DNwV6hfVKl

[PicoGK @PicoGK]

All built on #PicoGK.

[LEAP 71 @leap_71]

Let's build massive metal parts for space applications. @leap71 and @SolideonUSA are teaming up to integrate #ComputationalEngineering and robotic collaborative metal #3Dprinting. https://t.co/H5L86ItYmT

[LEAP 71 @leap_71]

Some new cool stuff came to @PicoGK / ShapeKernel today, contributed by @LissnerJosefine and
Aasim Rashid - check out the thread at: https://t.co/s4fedYD1UJ

[Lin Kayser @linkayser]

Support for Vector Fields coming to @PicoGK v1.5 #ComputationalEngineering

[LEAP 71 @leap_71]

Electric motors are a great field for #ComputationalEngineering

[LEAP 71 @leap_71]

Check out our gallery that we just put up. #ComputationalEngineering built on @PicoGK

[LEAP 71 @leap_71]

A prototype for an #electricmotor printed with the #multimaterial #metal #3dprinting process invented by the @FraunhoferIGCV utilizing a @NikonSLM printer. Created using our #ComputationalEngineering Model for electric actuation, EA/CEM. Collaboration with @DubaiFuture

We just released more images on the PicoGK gallery under Creative Commons. Enjoy here: https://t.co/jk4nurYfPJ

[PicoGK @PicoGK]

You can read more about some of the concepts of @PicoGK in this article, about the fundamentals of its architecture. https://t.co/OdtlCOLFS9

[PicoGK @PicoGK]

@PicoGK has proven itself in every-day use as the geometry foundation of some of the most complex #3dprinted objects ever created (@leap_71 multimaterial #aerospike printed with @FraunhoferIGCV experimental bi-metal printing process on @NikonSLM )

[PicoGK @PicoGK]

@PicoGK implements the foundational ideas presented in the series of articles written by @linkayser about the functionality needed to build a robust ecosystem for #ComputationalEngineering. https://t.co/BapBxKmn7Y
