If you want a three-dimensional model for a machine part design or an object to create for your 3D printer? Install the free software OpenSCAD before you make an expensive commercial CAD package purchase.
OpenSCAD is a free software for creating 3D CAD models. The open source program is suitable for Linux, Mac and Windows operating systems. It is specifically suited for the creation of CAD models, not for creating three-dimensional computer animations (you can do this the open source program Blender). This makes OpenSCAD particularly suitable for the design of such things as machine parts, or other applied objects.
OpenSCAD is not an interactive modelling tool. It allows three-dimensional models together from the script that you enter. The positive thing is that you yourself has complete control over the process by which the object is built up. The disadvantage is that the modeling of a three-dimensional model more knowledge and time.
OpenSCAD has the following options:
