PythonCAD is a CAD package written, surprisingly enough, in Python using the PySide2 interface and python3. The PythonCAD project aims to produce a scriptable, open-source, easy to use CAD package (Cross Platforms)

Linux TinyCad, or LiniCad, is a tiny CAD used for educational purposes. It is written in Python/Tk and its goals are to be as programmatically easy and small as possible.

MaxFem is an open software package for electromagnetic simulation by using finite element methods. The package can solve problems in electrostatics, direct current, magnetostatics and eddy-currents. Since version 0.4.0, MaxFEM requires Python 3. We have moved the installers to the MaxFEM website (see below). In order to improve MaxFEM, we will require you to fill out a simple form before downloading them.

A plug-in for Abaqus FEA with empiric data for many types of materials (linear, nonlinear, ortotropic). A simple GUI for creating properties for common materials and sections for bulk and shells.

The "wirecutter" plugin for inkscape is a plugin to generate g-Code for a 2D wirecutter with a turning table. You can either draw one open path which is the path which the machine will cut or you can draw some closed paths. These closed paths (e.g. Letters) must be connected because the cutter cannot leave the raw material like a milling machine. The Plugin helps you to create these connectors. If you have a wirecutter with a turning table you can create multiple "cuts" for different positions of the turning table. This software is not really tested and is still in development.
