OpenSCAD Fundamentals: Code-Based 2D and 3D Modeling

Code-based 3D modeling offers unmatched precision and parametric control for designers and makers. OpenSCAD allows you to build geometric shapes through straightforward text scripts rather than manual visual sculpting. This course guides you step-by-step through essential concepts and practical techniques to construct custom designs. What you'll learn: Understand core 3D modeling terminology, coordinate systems, and basic OpenSCAD syntax. Create fundamental 2D shapes and extrude them into solid 3D geometries. Apply transformations such as translation, rotation, scaling, and mirroring. Combine shapes using Boolean operations including union, difference, and intersection. Structure parametric models with reusable modules and dynamic variables. Prepare finished models for 3D printing and digital fabrication. You will begin with introductory concepts before exploring hands-on coding techniques and parametric design workflows. Designed for absolute beginners and aspiring designers, this course requires no prior programming or 3D modeling experience. Start reading today to master code-driven spatial design.
