The current MightyScape release has a whole bunch of useful stuff inside, for tasks as varied as laser cutting, 3D printing, vinyl cutting, as well as improvements on areas where Inkscape is a bit weak out of the box – like CAD, geometry and patterning.

The MightyScape project aims to solve that, putting a bunch of Inkscape plugins into one useful release. The software also has plenty of extensions floating around on the Internet, though until now, they haven’t been organised particularly well.
