[$] The programmer’s CAD: OpenSCAD

Post Syndicated from coogle original https://lwn.net/Articles/829489/rss

OpenSCAD is a GPLv2-licensed 3D computer-aided design (CAD) program
best described as a “programmer’s CAD”; it is available for
Linux, Windows, several flavors of BSD, and macOS. Unlike the majority of 3D-modeling software packages which are
point-and-click, the OpenSCAD website describes the project as
something like a 3D compiler“, where models are generated using
a scripting language. It is a unique way of approaching CAD and has many
real-world applications that may be of interest.
