<br>
I follow a mainly CAM focused blog:<br>

<a href="http://blog.cnccookbook.com/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://blog.cnccookbook.com/</a><br>
<br>
that occasionally runs surveys of it's readers on CAD/CAM topics. Here<br>
is one of interest:<br>

<br>
It looks like Solidworks is the winner overall (22% market share). The<br>
only open source software I see is FreeCAD (2%).<br>
<br>
Zooming in on the 'free' software, blender, inkscape and meshlab all<br>
make an appearance.<br>
<br>
It sounds like FreeCAD uses OpenCASCADE. Does anyone know what blender uses?<br>
