A Python library that generates OpenSCAD code, allowing for programmatic 3D modeling using Python syntax.
SolidPython
- Python
- 3D Graphics, Automation, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Simulation
- 3D, Additive Manufacturing, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), Digital Twin, Product Development, Prototyping, Rapid Prototyping, User-Centered Design
Features:
- OpenSCAD code generation,3D primitive shapes (cube,sphere,cylinder,etc.),Boolean operations (union,difference,intersection),transformations (translate,rotate,scale,mirror),extrusions (linear,rotate),loops and conditional logic via Python,importing DXF/STL (via OpenSCAD's capabilities),custom module definition
Pricing:
- Free
- Enables programmatic and parametric 3D modeling using Python's more flexible syntax compared to OpenSCAD's own language, good for creating complex or customizable 3D models with code, open-source.
- Requires OpenSCAD to be installed to render and export models (SolidPython generates SCAD code), debugging can involve checking the generated SCAD code, not a direct 3D modeling library (it's a code generator).
Best for:
- Designers, engineers, and hobbyists who want to create parametric 3D models for 3D printing or other applications using Python to generate OpenSCAD code.
