Convert Diamond Design Files to Open-Source CAD Formats & Develop Conversion Tool
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Description:
Background:
I have three design files in ".STL", ".cap", and ".adv" formats from advanced diamond scanning and design software. This software is renowned for its capability to scan, analyze, plan, and design diamonds, optimizing raw cuts to maximize value.
Problem:
The original software required to access these files is unavailable, rendering me unable to open or utilize them with alternative solutions.
Solution:
I need assistance with two primary objectives:
a) Converting these files to open-source CAD formats to ensure compatibility with various CAD solutions such as Blender, FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, LibreCAD, and BRL-CAD.
b) Developing a permanent, user-friendly tool or interface (CLI or GUI) for converting such files in the future, ensuring no dependency on proprietary software.
Deliverables:
Converted files in open-source formats (e.g., STL and equivalents for ".cap" and ".adv") that are readable by the specified CAD solutions. Documentation outlining the conversion process for future reference is also required.
A CLI or GUI tool for future file conversions, complete with user documentation.
Necessary Skills:
Proven expertise in converting files to STL and other CAD formats.
Proficient in creating CLI or GUI for software processes.
Familiarity with diamond scanning and design software is a plus, but not mandatory.
Timeline:
This project has a tight timeline and is expected to be completed within one week from the start date. Please consider this timeline when applying and ensure you can commit to this deadline.
