OpenSCAD Reviews & Product Details - Page 3

The 3D features in OpenSCAD is a major game changer! I also love how fast this program is and how awesome the other drawing tools are Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product can take a little to long to install Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

two main modelling techniques: First there is constructive solid geometry (aka CSG) and second there is extrusion of 2D outlines Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Takes a little while to read through all the features, which is sometimes a little painful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use and convenience of the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program sometimes laggs, making certain tasks take longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing I enjoyed about this product were the drawing features. A lot of other CAD programs out there seem to forget the little things but this isnt one of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like most CAD products I feel like it could be a little less on the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Been using Autocad for awhile but was recently introduced to OpenSCAD and I love it! Super easy to use and I recommend it to everyone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Had a bad update and it messed up my OpenSCAD for a day or so Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenSCAD has the best tools I have ever used in a CAD drawing program. Makes it so much easier to draw for our clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is the only thing I didnt like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The OPENSCAD is the best software to create solid 3D CAD objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing to dislike, sometimes the previewing option takes time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- How easy is to design parametric objects

- The simple but powerful usage of the program

- Portability (it is multiplatform)

- It is free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The fact that it uses CFG slows the program with huge models

- There is no ruler whatsoever

- Inspecting the model sometimes it's a bit tricky Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenSCAD is so amazing because you can create things with code. It's like a little bit of Matlab and a little bit of Solidworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how limited you are. Yes you can create and edit items you make, but it just seems TOO simplistic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* parametric modeling

* the designs are code so..

* ..you can "diff" changes

* ..you can use normal source control practices

* ..you can collaborate in a style that's familiar for programmers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* complex designs are difficult

* no support for assemblies

* no notion of joints or mating surfaces

* difficult to measure distances between objects

* have to learn a DSL -- could OpenSCAD have been more SVG-like?

* sometimes the software was buggy and crashed

* there are (arguably) better alternatives for simple tasks, like, imho, Fusion 360 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
