I will prefer OpenSCAD for a lot of things because of the parametric design. Some things are easier in OpenSCAD, some are easier in FreeCAD, some things are easier in blender. I love the parametric programmatic design approach that OpenSCAD provides, and i prefer designing in it over the FreeCAD “Part Design” which i find a bit laborious.

OPENSCAD ANIMATE FREE
Or try out Autodesk’s free (but not open) Fusion 360. If you’re feeling limited by OpenSCAD, there’s also ImplicitCAD. The tutorials seem like a good way to get started quickly.Īs we said above, choosing a 3D modeller is partly based on your requirements, but also partly on your feelings. It looks like a great way to design your next Strandbeest. But it also has other features like constraint solvers for mechanisms and linkages. It has a lot of what we like about OpenSCAD - the ability to quickly and easily specify two 5 mm holes exactly 21 mm from each other, center-to-center and then change that distance easily. We’re wondering why we hadn’t heard of Solvespace before. Reader pointed us to Solvespace, and it looks like it fills the gap between something like OpenSCAD and something more feature-full (and complicated) like FreeCAD. There are tons of CAD programs out there, and finding one that meets your needs is part functionality and part personal preference. But if you’re like us, the real time spent in making something new is in modelling and refining the piece. 3D printing seems like it takes forever when you’re waiting for a part to come out.
