'''OpenSCAD''' is a [[free software]] application for creating solid 3D CAD objects. It is not an interactive modeler, but rather a 3D-compiler - it reads input from a script file that describes the object and renders a [[3D model]] from it. OpenSCAD is available for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[Linux]] and [[Mac OS X]]. It does [[constructive solid geometry]] (CSG). OpenSCAD can also extrude forms from [[AutoCAD DXF]] files. |

OpenSCAD is a free software application for creating solid 3D CAD objects. It is not an interactive modeler, but rather a 3D-compiler - it reads input from a script file that describes the object and renders a 3D model from it. OpenSCAD is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. It does constructive solid geometry (CSG). OpenSCAD can also extrude forms from AutoCAD DXF files.
It uses CGAL as the basic geometry engine, to render into 3d STL files, with OpenCSG as a 'quick view' engine for rendering to a 2d-screen.
