OpenSCAD
This free, open-source script-based 3D CAD modeler creates solid 3D models by compiling script files that describe geometry using code. It supports parametric design with configurable parameters and exports to STL and other formats for 3D printing.
- Write a script to create a parametric 3D model of a mechanical part
- Generate an STL file from a script-based design for 3D printing
- Define configurable parameters in a model script to quickly produce design variations
