These are fun but as long as it’s OpenSCAD it will always be a hobbyist toy and not able to be used for professional use. Which is fine! But imo an openscad rendering pipeline is pretty easy. I’m more interested in someone trying to take a stab at vibe coding models that output Brep compatible formats and generate STEP files. This is much, much harder to do but is the main step towards doing this for actual professio…

Even with AI it is going to be incredibly difficult. Not really a full CAD kernel but I have been at something similar for the last 5 months - https://lilicad.com
