  There is quite a few "code" CAD's around https://github.com/Irev-Dev/curated-code-cad. Cadquery has contraints but isn't really a DSL.

• Antimony – computer-aided design tool from the Lisp machine parallel universe

  This is a mid-point in Matt Keeter's research.

  Start at:

  http://mattkeeter.com/research/thesis.pdf

  then see:

  http://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/kokopelli/

  then Antimony (see the article at: http://hackaday.com/2015/05/29/otherworldy-cad-software-hail... ), then the current effort:

  https://github.com/libfive/libfive

  (and also see: https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/tovero "a binding of Libfive to Common Lisp, including a standalone REPL-based viewer"[https://github.com/Irev-Dev/curated-code-cad] can be integrated with https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/clive

  Currently I'm using OpenSCAD (w/ BlockSCAD as a front-end: https://www.blockscad3d.com because I prefer a sort of visual representation), but have been stymied by the lack of file I/O (I want to write out G-code).

  Still looking for a 3D modeling tool which is:

  - a node or block editor

• What happened Tovero (libfive bindings) and Clive (scene graph and 3D GUI) from Kavalogic and previously hosted on common-lisp.net?
  3 projects | /r/Common_Lisp | 24 Jan 2022

  From 2018 through sometime 2020 there seems to have existed two projects surrounding 3D modelling in CL, Tovero as libfive bindings and Clive as some sort of scene graph with a 3D GUI as per this description from a random git commit I found:

• 3D version of MakeCode from Buildbee.com (for making 3D models for 3D printing/CNC)
  2 projects | /r/MakeCode | 31 Dec 2021
• Is there a way to make cad models using programming? Just Curious.
  1 project | /r/FreeCAD | 25 Mar 2021

  Checkout this resource for a whole host of different options (besides FreeCAD) https://github.com/Irev-Dev/curated-code-cad

• To design a new mount for the Chimera 2in2out for the Ender 3, I rebuilt the carriage assembly in OpenScad and partyl QCad.
  3 projects | /r/openscad | 27 Dec 2020

  I tried using python scripting with FreeCad's 2d constraints mechanisms, which I had high hopes for but found it to be too difficult. I did a decent write up about it here: https://github.com/Irev-Dev/curated-code-cad/pull/8
