pyscad VS manifold

There's OpenSCAD, but I don't think it's exactly what you mean

https://openscad.org/

For something this simple you can use OpenSCAD (https://openscad.org). It's free and pretty easy to learn. Below are the two commands required to produce the solid object indicated by the picture. The application can export anything you create as an STL.

Are you asking about something like https://openscad.org which allows you to code your model? An example of its use can be seen in the OpenFlexure project.

I use OpenSCAD. https://openscad.org - it's what the Thingiverse Customizer is based on (and if you upload .scad files to Thingiverse, the Customizer works for your design too).

One tool many people use for parametric modeling is OpenSCAD which is very utilitarian and has methods for constructing 3d and 2d geometry (and 3d from 2d such as extrusion).

OpenSCAD is free and open source. It's great for creating functional parts. Its input .scad files are just plain text files.

Download OpenSCAD from https://openscad.org and that NameTag.scad file from Thingiverse. Open the scad file in OpenSCAD, and use OpenScad’s text editor or Customizer view to replace ‘your name’ hit ‘Render’ then export to STL. Print the STL.

In the open source, cross platform, OpenSCAD, the following makes a regular tetrahedron:

You'll feel right at home with OpenSCAD ("The programmer's solid 3D CAD modeller)

Yea. Parametric is the right world. That would be very nice to have. Almost every single Parametric model (example) on Printables is on F360 (or the older ones in OpenSCAD - but they haven't done a new release in years now).

Small in a relative sense compared to some larger codebase.

Here's a bit on Manifold:

and the author's blog is interesting:

For cad kernels I highly recommend manifold https://github.com/elalish/manifold

Our project https://github.com/elalish/manifold made use of this to speed up mesh processing algorithms a lot.

Wondering why no BRep support means it is not a CAD. It seems that OpenVSP doesn't use BRep but uses parametric surface [1]. I wonder if mesh-based modeling + some constraints solving will get you a CAD, or are there other requirements that I don't know? I only work on mesh processing library on my free-time and I don't know much about BRep.

Unhealthy relationship with keyboards? Comparing with the r/MechanicalKeyboards or r/ErgoMechKeyboards people this relationship is more like divorced...

I added python binding and ended up being on of the devs for https://github.com/elalish/manifold because OpenSCAD is too slow for my modeling (I am quite impatient). Optimizing my keyboard for months with more than 5 complete rebuilds to optimize my design (looks like this: https://i.redd.it/xtf0f54mt7ya1.jpg), and is afraid of open sourcing it because my code looks too bad :(

Now much faster and more stable thanks to the Manifold engine (https://github.com/elalish/manifold): in fact it is often faster than the last stable desktop release from https://openscad.org/.

Also much better code completion, and ships with a few examples from the various bundled libraries to get you started.

At the end, they gonna replace it with ( elalish manifold.
