"BRL-CAD
"BRL-CAD (BRL stands for Ballistic Research Laboratory) is a
powerful solid modeling system that includes interactive geometry
editing, high-performance ray-tracing for rendering and geometric
analysis, image and signal-processing tools, a system performance
analysis benchmark suite, libraries for robust geometric
representation, with more than 20 years of active development and
production use by the U.S. military. Although it can be used for a
variety of engineering and graphics applications, the package's
primary purpose continues to be the support of ballistic and
electromagnetic analyses. In keeping with the Unix philosophy of
developing independent tools to perform single, specific tasks and
then linking the tools together in a package, BRL-CAD is basically
a collection of libraries, tools, and utilities that work together
to create, raytrace, and interrogate geometry and manipulate files
and data."
