BOM — Bill of Materials. A structured list of components in an assembly with part numbers, quantities, and reference designators.
Catppuccin Mocha — A dark color palette used for Kindred Create's theme. Part of the Catppuccin color scheme family.
Datum — Reference geometry (plane, axis, or point) used as a construction aid for modeling. Not a physical shape — used to position features relative to abstract references.
FCStd — FreeCAD's standard document format. A ZIP archive containing XML model trees, BREP geometry, thumbnails, and embedded data.
FileOrigin — Abstract C++ interface in src/Gui/ that defines a pluggable file backend. Implementations: LocalFileOrigin (filesystem) and SiloOrigin (database).
FreeCAD — Open-source parametric 3D CAD platform. Kindred Create is based on FreeCAD v1.0.0. Website: https://www.freecad.org
Kindred Create — The full application: a FreeCAD fork plus Kindred's addon workbenches, theme, and tooling.
Manipulator — FreeCAD mechanism for injecting commands from one workbench into another's menus and toolbars. Used by ztools to add commands to PartDesign.
MinIO — S3-compatible object storage server. Used by Silo to store binary .FCStd files.
OndselSolver — Lagrangian constraint solver for the Assembly workbench. Vendored as a submodule from a Kindred fork.
Origin — In Kindred Create context: the pluggable file backend system. In FreeCAD context: the coordinate system origin (X/Y/Z axes and planes) of a Part or Body.
pixi — Conda-based dependency manager and task runner. Used for all build operations. Website: https://pixi.sh
Preference pack — FreeCAD mechanism for bundling theme settings, preferences, and stylesheets into an installable package.
QSS — Qt Style Sheet. A CSS-like language for styling Qt widgets. Kindred Create's theme is defined in KindredCreate.qss.
rattler-build — Cross-platform package build tool from the conda ecosystem. Used to create AppImage, DMG, and NSIS installer bundles.
Silo — Kindred's parts database system. Consists of a Go server, FreeCAD workbench, and shared Python client library.
SSE — Server-Sent Events. HTTP-based protocol for real-time server-to-client notifications. Used by Silo for the activity feed.
Workbench — FreeCAD's plugin/module system. Each workbench provides a set of tools, menus, and toolbars for a specific task domain.
ztools — Kindred's unified workbench combining Part Design, Assembly, and Sketcher tools with custom datum creation and assembly patterns.
