What is OpenSCAD

Chapter 6
Interdisciplinary and International Perspectives on 3D Printing in Education
A free software for creating solid 3D CAD objects. Maintaining by Marius Kintel, the OpenSCAD creates solid models through a script file that describes the object to be created. This software does not focus on the artistic aspects of creating 3D models but focuses solely on the creation of 3D parts and objects.

Abstract
Three-dimensional representations have been used in teaching for several decades. However, these representations were made primarily using materials available in the market. The use of 3D printers has extended the possibility of creating and printing these objects, enabling the printing of three-dimensional models using computer designs. These computational designs or 3D computational modeling are built employing various software programs, which require reflections and strategies during their production. In this chapter, the authors discuss the possibilities of using the OpenSCAD software 3D models for teaching mathematics.
