Our kernel isnt open source but we have an API, and we rebuilt our own CAD engine to fully utilize GPUs

While we are not fully capable yet, that's the end goal by next year. Years from now we cannot still be using these single-threaded nightmares from 30 years ago.

Very interesting. Do you have information/documentation on the engine itself? I'm not seeing anything technical that explains what it is/isn't capable of, or how it relates to existing CAD kernels.

Super cool work either way! I'll be wishing you luck.
