Chapter 5: Using Advanced Operations of OpenSCAD
Based on what we initially saw while loading OpenSCAD, we may have underestimated its power. However, by using advanced operations, we can create dynamic design code – or, in other words, code that can easily be reused for multiple designs.
OpenSCAD lets you add and extrude text for use in creating designs that can be used in mass customization business models – an absolute strength of 3D printing. With mass customization, we can tailor our product specifically to our client at a scale that was not possible in the days before 3D printers.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Turning 2D shapes into 3D objects
- Looking at advanced OpenSCAD commands
- Simplifying our code with modules
