BRL-CAD interactively displaying, editing, and interrogating geometric models. This suite became known as BRL-CAD. Development on BRL-CAD as a package subsequently began in 1983; the first public release was made in 1984. BRL-CAD became an open-source project in December 2004. The BRL-CAD source code repository is the oldest known public version-controlled codebase in the world that's still under active development, dating back to 1983-12-16 00:10:31 UTC. BRL-CAD BRL-CAD is a constructive solid geometry (CSG) solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD) system. It includes an interactive geometry editor, ray tracing support for graphics rendering and geometric analysis, computer network distributed framebuffer support, scripting,
Computer-assisted surgery time. There are several disadvantages of computer-assisted surgery. A major disadvantage of this system is their cost. With a price tag of a million dollars , their cost is nearly prohibitive. Some people believe that improvements in technology, such as haptics, increased processor speeds, and more complex and capable software will increase the cost of these systems. Another disadvantage is the size of these systems. These systems have relatively large footprints and relatively cumbersome robotic arms. This is an important disadvantage in today's already crowded-operating rooms. It may be difficult for both the surgical team and the robot to fit
