# awv-informatik/smlibpy > Python library for 3D modeling on the SMLib NURBS kernel, with exact B-reps, STEP/DXF/STL, sheet metal and an API inspired by cadquery and build123d. - Magnitude: 4.9 out of 10 — Early signal - Stars: 95 total · +5 stars measured 2026-10-14, 03:28–05:35 UTC, ≈ 49 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: Python · License: MIT · Created: 2026-10-12 · Last push: 2026-10-13 - GitHub: https://github.com/awv-informatik/smlibpy · Homepage: https://smlibpy.classcad.ch · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/awv-informatik/smlibpy ## Useful for - Build a parametric plate with holes and fillets and export it to STEP - Generate technical drawings in first- or third-angle projection with hidden lines - Let a Claude Code agent model parts through the bundled MCP server ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-14 (UTC), 03:28–05:35: 90 → 95 stars (+5). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +49 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 2 days old and already has 95 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - Top new repositories this week: #196. - About 9 forks a day — people are taking the code. - Recent forks include notable developers: @roshanbvadassery (1,011 followers). ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 12 - Issues and pull requests: 5 - Watchers: 2 - Average over the last week: 48 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): 3 - Latest release: v0.2.3 (2026-10-13) ## Stars per day, last 3 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-12 … 2026-10-14: 25, 70, 5 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories this week: #196 ## Similar by description 1. **gumyr/build123d** — 1.6 · Steady · Hardware, IoT & robotics · Python · +4 stars measured 2026-10-14, 00:00–05:42 UTC, ≈ 14 by evening A Python parametric BREP CAD modeling library built on the Open Cascade kernel, letting you define 2D and 3D models as code for 3D printing, CNC machining and laser cutting. Full card: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/gumyr/build123d.md --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
