OpenSCAD – 3D modeling for the creatively challenged

Best described as AutoCAD by code, the open-source OpenSCAD provides programmers and engineers with a completely new approach to creating technical 3D objects. This workshop starts out by explaining how OpenSCAD works, and then introduces the most important structural elements of the programming language. When done, attendants are ready and fully qualified to explore OpenSCAD on their own and have, furthermore, implemented a few practically useful objects such as a replacement button for an oscilloscope.
