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.
