OpenCASCADE is a toolkit for building CAD software, not CAD software itself. The history of the project and the project's license have raised questions as to whether it's actually open source software (per the OSI definition). That said, it provides an interesting geometry kernel for developers. BRL-CAD is the most comprehensive open source solid modeling system available and has been in production use for more than 20 years. BRL- CAD has a very steep learning curve making it time-intensive for modelers to become proficient with it, but there are vast changes under development to improve usability and the appearance of the GUI. BRL-CAD's tools do strongly reflect the project's heritage supporting engineering analysis more than design, while drafting features and 2D- centric practices are minimally supported. Full disclosure: I'm the open source project lead for BRL-CAD. The little I know about gCAD3D is that it's a relatively new piece of software with very limited features, support, and documentation. I'm not aware of anyone using them for production use yet. Cheers! Sean -- "Freedom is the only law".
