PicoGK is a compact, open-source computational geometry kernel written in C++ with a C# layer, built by LEAP 71 as the foundation for Computational Engineering. It provides a deliberately reduced but robust instruction set for generating engineering geometry, incorporating OpenVDB, and is used to design physical parts like heat exchangers, electric motors, and 3D-printed rocket engines.

Use cases

• generate geometry for 3D-printed parts programmatically
• build generative design models for engineering components
• design heat exchangers and electric motors via code
• create voxel-based computational geometry with OpenVDB
• automate additive manufacturing part design
• write computational engineering models in C#

When to choose

• you want to generate engineering geometry algorithmically rather than with CAD software
• you need a lightweight, open-source geometry kernel for additive manufacturing workflows
• you prefer a small, reduced instruction set over heavyweight CAD kernels
• you work in C# or C++ and want to build computational design models

When to avoid

• you need full-featured CAD modeling with drawings, assemblies, and parametric constraints
• you need a GUI-based design tool rather than a code-driven kernel
• your project is unrelated to physical engineering geometry or manufacturing
