OpenSCAD is especially geared towards mechanical, rather than artistic, aspects of 3D computer-aided design.
Thus OpenSCAD can be useful when one wants to create a model that one wants to 3D-print.

Units
+
+ All dimensions in OpenSCAD are measured in (the somewhat confusingly named) "unit".

+ The convention used by a lot of people doing 3D-printing is:

+ But OpenSCAD is in a sense unit-less.

+ And it is a good idea to explicitly size your model when preparing it for 3D-printing.
