OpenSCAD
The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller
OpenSCAD is a free, open-source application for creating solid 3D CAD models using a scripting language rather than interactive modelling. It runs on Linux/UNIX, Windows, and Mac OS X and is aimed at programmers who want to create precise, parametric 3D designs. Users write code to define objects, and the software renders the result, making designs easily reproducible and version-controllable.
Users write scripts in the OpenSCAD language to define geometric objects and transformations, which the software compiles into solid 3D models.
