			Someone has already implemented this... Shapesmith was a cloud-based wrapper around OpenCASCADE, which is essentially the role that FreeCAD plays, it's just an additional layer around OpenCASCADE. I think that FreeCAD is an excellent effort, but ultimately it is undermined by the bugs and unreliability and unmaintainability of OpenCASCADE. I have spent a tremendous amount of time reading OpenCASCADE source code. It's a mess. There's really no way to get out of this mess. The only way is to start over. I have documented my findings about OpenCASCADE here: http://diyhpl.us/wiki/cad/opencascade/

			The most promising CAD direction that I have seen recently has been the verbnurbs project. Originally written in javascript, has recently been rewritten in a language called haxe which cross-compiles to multiple other language targets including python, C++, javascript, etc. Was originally intended for CAD in the browser.

			Another interesting recent development has been Solvespace:

			There is an MIT journal club that has been focusing on open-source CAD, although I haven't been paying attention for the past few weeks.... I think some of the Mach30 people are involved for some reason, I am sure you know them. I made a quasi-offer to eventually fund an open-source CAD project of some kind, or eventually directly participate in the implementation on my own. However, the number one problem is that nobody knows how to actually implement actual NURBS-based surface-intersection, and hiring great people is fairly expensive and blows the budget.....

			Anyway the cadquery person has made a python wrapper around FreeCAD, I think he runs parametricparts.com as well:
			Dave Cowden <dave.cowden@gmail.com>

			I think the relevant Mach30 person is:
			Jeremy Wright <wrightjmf@gmail.com>

			For the MIT journal club group focusing on open-source CAD, the contact person is:
			Nancy Ouyang <nancy.ouyang@gmail.com>

			Finally, we totally miss you in ##hplusroadmap on irc.freenode.net ! http://diyhpl.us/wiki/hplusroadmap We would love to catch up with you as a group sometime...
