BRL-CAD is a powerful solid modeling system developed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (formerly known as the Ballistic Research Laboratory, or BRL) that includes an interactive geometry editor (MGED), a ray-tracing library with support for rendering and geometric analysis, network distributed framebuffer support, an embedded scripting language, image- and signal-processing tools, and a host of additional utilities. The package supports a variety of geometric representations, including traditional combinatorial solid geometry (CSG) primitives, solids made from closed collections of uniform B-spline surfaces as well as non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) surfaces, faceted geometry, and n-manifold geometry (NMG).
The SURVICE Engineering Company, serving as the Government-sponsored Survivability/Vulnerability Information Analysis Center Aberdeen Satellite Office (SURVIAC ASO), provides BRL-CAD distribution and training. In addition, we also provide BRL-CAD model development services to a number of Government and commercial customers.
