Part 2: Learning OpenSCAD

Although 3D printing objects designed by others is certainly worthwhile, having the ability to create your own 3D designs expands what you can do greatly. Physical objects do not need to stay in your imagination when you are armed with the tools of 3D design. OpenSCAD is a free, open source 3D design platform designed with the programmer in mind. In this part, we will explore OpenSCAD. We will start off designing with simple shapes and work our way to more complex designs.

In this part, we cover the following chapters:

• Chapter 4, Getting Started with OpenSCAD
• Chapter 5, Using Advanced Operations of OpenSCAD
• Chapter 6, Exploring Common OpenSCAD Libraries
