About OpenSCAD
- OpenSCAD is a free, open-source 3D CAD tool focused on creating solid models using a script-only approach.
- Unlike interactive modelers, it acts as a 3D compiler, rendering models from script files for precise control over design processes.
- Ideal for engineers, it supports parametric modeling with configurable variables, allowing easy modifications at any stage.
- Features two main techniques: constructive solid geometry (CSG) and extrusion of 2D outlines, with support for DXF, STL, and OFF file formats.
- Built on free technologies like CGAL, Qt, and OpenGL, it ensures reliable, high-quality outputs like watertight STL files for 3D printing.
