Introduction
OpenSCAD is a 3D CAD programm using the same geometric core as FreeCAD (OCCT).
But while FreeCAD uses a visual approach OpenSCAD uses a programming interface to perform 3D operations.
The OpenSCAD workbench can be used to import OpenSCAD object code and to have access to some of the
mesh operations possible with OpenSCAD.
Installing OpenSCAD
Mac Users could download the binaries from the homepage.
Linux Ubuntu/Mint users can install from the system repositories or from the homepage
Linux (Debian) users
Linux (Open SUSE) users
Windows users can download the program from the OpenSCAD homepage.
Since only the OpenSCAD executable is needed by FreeCAD windows users can install the portable version.
