In theory you can do code-based CAD with FreeCAD, but it's going to be more verbose than OpenSCAD and I haven't come across anyone doing that in anger.

- throw46365 2y agoWell, you can still use OpenSCAD of course (there's a workbench for it). There's also a (deprecated) CadQuery 1.x workbench; a Build123D workbench would be great for sure.
- regularfry 2y agoYeah, I was thinking more of the current python API. But anything that spits out OpenCascade is probably useful.
- throw46365 2y agoThe Python console spits out usable but verbose code as you work, and I guess the macro recorder interfaces with that -- then you can tidy it up. But it's not as elegant an abstraction.
