<strong>OpenSCAD</strong> is an open-source computer-aided design (<abbr title="computer-aided design">CAD</abbr>) software application.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Unlike many other <abbr title="computer-aided design">CAD</abbr> software applications which use a <abbr title="graphical user interface">GUI</abbr> to create, edit, and manipulate objects, <strong>OpenSCAD</strong creates, edits, and manipulates objects via a scripting programming-language.
|
||
|
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<figure>
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>
|
||
|
|
cube([2,3,4]);
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
</figure>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<strong>OpenSCAD</strong> provides two main methods for 3D modeling:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>creating complex object from combinations of simpler shapes, and</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>extruding 2D shapes (contained in .dxf or .svg files) into 3D shapes.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<strong>OpenSCAD</strong> is especially geared towards mechanical, rather than artistic, aspects of 3D computer-aided design.
|
||
|
|
Thus <strong>OpenSCAD</strong> can be useful when one wants to create a model that one wants to 3D-print.
