It’s software cad. You write code that makes the 3d model. And then you print the 3d model.

The last “official release” was 2 years ago. But development (and community) is active. You gotta get the nightly builds.

    I agree but with a caveat: openscad still requires people to understand code. It is still. A whole new skillset that not everyone is going to want to learn.

      You can still share the STL though :)

      And for the OpenSCAD files I saw so far, the most important variables are usually well documented with comments at the top of the file, which makes it easier for most people how to adapt the files to their needs without knowledge of coding.
