A different kind of CAD

I just discovered a new kind of CAD!

OpenSCAD Official Logo 2017

 

While the traditional CAD approach is all point-and-click in a laborious user interface, OpenSCAD takes the approach of the programmer, namely writing a definition text and viewing the reselt in an interactive 3D view. Since the language used in OpenSCAD allows the user to make relationships between parameters in the model, the result are highly flexible and customizable objects, perfect for rapid prototyping and research work. I can warmly recommend this software, I already have a substantial model build from the ground up after just 3 hours of use. It definitely made my grudge against CAD software go away!
