It’s software cad. You write code that makes the 3d model. And then you print the 3d model.
The last “official release” was 2 years ago. But development (and community) is active. You gotta get the nightly builds.
You must log in or register to comment.
That’s a great point. OpenSCAD is lightweight and FOSS so it is a lot easier to share than Fusion360 for example
OpenSCAD is only lightweight till you start working with Minkowski transformations and hulls. Then you just want a faster CPU.
I never go that far in my projects, when are you using Minkowski transformations?
Two reasons.
- In conjunction with hulls to make nice organic shapes. Cubes and Prisms are nice but I like my designs to look organic. Nice round edges make for nicer 3d prints too.
- Concave Fillets
Yeah my own creation are usually really blocky because I am lazy and I just need something fonctional haha
