RattleCAD
rattleCAD is a parametric 2D computer-aided design (CAD) software specific for bicycle design, in particular for design bicycle frame, developed by the Austrian cyclist and programmer Manfred Rosenberger since 2008. The application is written in the programming language Tcl using the Tk-based graphical user interface (GUI).
In 2019, after 10 years being open-source software, rattleCAD switched to a proprietary software development model.
In 2008, Manfred Rosenberger began developing rattleCAD as open-source software for bicycle do it yourself (DIY) makers and bike shops, hosting source code and binary code on SourceForge since January 2010, as an alternative to only few existing proprietary apps in this field at the time, such as BikeCAD, one of the oldest CAD software specific for bicycle design, developed by a Canadian bicycle rental businessperson and a programmer Brent Curry since 2002, and Linkage, a CAD and CAE software for bicycle design and bicycle suspension simulation, developed by a Hungarian software developer Gergely Kovacs.
From 31 March to 1 April 2012, the app was exhibited at the European Handmade Bicycle Exhibition (EHBE) in Schwäbisch Gmünd.
On 11 April 2012, app has been presented at the Bespoked 2014 (the UK handmade bicycle show) in London.
On 8 July 2017, Rosenberger presented rattleCAD at the EuroTcl 2017 (15th European Tcl/Tk User Meeting) in Berlin.
On 7 July 2018, at the EuroTcl 2018 (16th European Tcl/Tk User Meeting) in Munich, Rosenberger presented the cad4tcl – an open-source CAD graphics library for Tcl/Tk, extracted from the main rattleCAD source.
On 10 December 2018, first rattleCAD 4.0.0 preview release has been rolled out.
