Description

Hello! Welcome to this course on OpenSCAD!

In this course we will be covering the basics of OpenSCAD, some advance topics, as well as 2 projects from start to finish!

In the basics section you will learn how to make 3D objects, transform objects, use boolean operations, play with flow control statements like if, else if, else, use modules, functions and list comprehension, create 2D objects and lastly how to extrude objects.

In the advance section you will learn how to create text, modify characters, use operators + children, animate and use time, and lastly use multiple files and import them in openscad.

The first project in the course will consist of creating a gearbox as well as animating and creating a gif of the project. The second project is to create an airfoil and then use it to create a low poly plane model that can be used as an asset in video games or 3D printed to be a prop, the possibilities are endless!

When you finish this course, you will be able to proficiently use OpenSCAD for your own projects and I can't wait to see what my future students will make! Good luck and most importantly Enjoy the Course!
