awesome-openscad

Goal

Attempting to bring more awesomeness & harmony to the OpenSCAD community.

I am marking this project as WIP planning for a better awesome-list. An even awesomer openSCAD object/tool library 'embeddable awesome browser' & object discovery & repo package manager.

Using RUST & git, perhaps based on RUST spacedrive that is updating with compatible projects built into this awesome list.

The intention is to make something that is one unified repo for openSCAD package objects (similar to a npmjs.org pip, but using RUST cargo)

If you have an openscad project and would like to be part of this list please add your project and stay tuned.

😘 Acknowledge Friends of SCAD

Fornjot built in RUST, similar to OpenSCAD with boundary representation.
🐍.python CadQuery/cadquery - a popular python centric dialect that is turing complete and therefore perhaps better suited for systems coding & simulation.
C++ OpenCascade - a wholly separate but similar distant cousin of OpenSCAD.
ImplicitCAD may not use OpenSCAD (can't tell)

👋 Platforms supporting OpenSCAD syntax
