OpenSCAD isoftware yekugadzira yakasimba 3D CAD modhi. Iyo software yemahara uye inowanikwa kuLinux / UNIX, Windows uye Mac OS X. Kusiyana neakawanda emahara software yekugadzira 3D mhando (yakadai seBlender) haitarise pane zveunyanzvi zvemhando ye3D asi pane zveCAD. Saka inogona kunge iri application yauri kutsvaga paunenge uchironga kugadzira 3D modhi yezvikamu zvemuchina asi chokwadi chaicho handicho chauri kutsvaga kana iwe uchinyanya kufarira kugadzira makomputa-animated mafirimu.

OpenSCAD haisi yekudyidzana modeller. Pane kudaro chinhu chakaita se3D-compiler inoverenga muscript file inotsanangura chinhu uye inopa iyo 3D modhi kubva pane iyi script file. Izvi zvinokupa iwe (mugadziri) kutonga kwakazara pamusoro pemaitiro ekuenzanisira uye kunoita kuti iwe uchinje nyore nhanho chero nhanho mukuita modhi kana kugadzira madhizaini anotsanangurwa neanogadziriswa paramita.

OpenSCAD inopa maitiro maviri makuru ekuenzanisira: Chekutanga pane inovaka yakasimba geometry (aka CSG) uye chechipiri pane extrusion ye2D rondedzero. Autocad DXF mafaera anogona kushandiswa seiyo data yekutsinhana fomati yeiyo 2D rondedzero. Pamusoro pe2D nzira dzeextrusion zvakare zvinokwanisika kuverenga dhizaini paramita kubva kuDXF mafaera. Kunze kweDXF mafaera OpenSCAD inogona kuverenga nekugadzira 3D modhi muSTL uye OFF mafaera mafomati.
