Summary

In this chapter, we dived deeper into the functionality of OpenSCAD. We learned how to create a 3D design from a 2D .svg file and how to scale 3D objects in our code. We looked at the text operation and created a dynamic plaque that adjusted its size to the text that sat on it.

Modules gave us the ability to organize our code more effectively. By creating modules based on actions, we were able to redesign our Thumbs Up award quickly.

In the next chapter, we will investigate some of the most common OpenSCAD libraries as we continue to learn more about this powerful CAD environment.
