I've done something similar with pythonocc in the past as part of a research project. A video of the application (to create some basic geometry ready for some stretch-forming analysis) is here: http://www.ruledriven.com/StretchFormGeometry/ It doesn't use Django, but most of the Python web frameworks work in the same basic way. The main thing to watch out for is the OCC environment variables, but usually if you have OCC installed then it isn't a problem. In this example I generate a VRML model that is displayed in the browser, but it would be pretty similar code to generate a STEP model. A simple starter for 10 would be something like: from OCC import * wr = STEPControl.STEPControl_Writer() box = BRepPrimAPI.BRepPrimAPI_MakeBox(100, 100, 100) wr.Transfer(box.Shape(), STEPControl.STEPControl_AsIs) wr.Write("c:/test.step") I've not tested this in a recent version of pythonocc, so it may need a few tweaks to get it working.
