About OpenSCAD
Code-based CAD software for creating precise 3D models through scripts.
Where it fits
Write a script defining dimensions and geometry, preview the resulting model, then export a mesh for your slicer.
Before you start
A model built from parameters can be adjusted without redrawing each part. Review dimensions, wall thickness and mesh quality before printing.
