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

<h2>Units</h2>
<p>
All dimensions in <strong>OpenSCAD</strong> are measured in (the somewhat confusingly named) "unit".
</p>
<p>
The <em>convention</em> used by a lot of people doing 3D-printing is:
</p>
<figure>
1 unit = 1 millimeter

<p>
But <strong>OpenSCAD</strong> is in a sense unit-less.
</p>
<p>
And it is a good idea to explicitly size your model when preparing it for 3D-printing.
