OpenSCAD was invaluable to me for getting started with CAD... But it is very simplistic and fundamentally limited.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Getting started with CAD and making basic 3D models for 3D printing.
OpenSCAD's limitations are the main thing that motivated me to write this Python library to generate 3D meshes.

The chatbots kept recommending I try using OpenSCAD but I resisted without even giving it a look. I'm going to try using OpenSCAD for things in the future.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Considering it for future 3D modeling after initially avoiding it.
It does not, in fact, create precise 3D models! It produces mesh representations of them. So it cannot, by definition, produce a precise representation of a cylinder, sphere, cone or curve.

It's like OpenSCAD but the backing abstraction is Signed Distance Fields, so that it can represent, for instance, smooth CSG.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: As a comparison point for a text-based CAD editor, but using a different (SDF) backing abstraction
