In theory, one should be able to use OpenSCAD to come up with fancy surfaces to 3-D print, right? I'm just dipping my toes in 3D printing, with a recent acquisition of a Bambu P2S
Yes, but it is painfully slow. Even perforated patterns are quite slow to generate.

Fusion360 is just stupid fast at perforations and sophisticated modeling constructions via its python API. I use it because it works well, but I'd be happier if I didn't have to maintain that Autodesk dependency...

I found that starting with an SVG and extruding from there is perfect in OpenSCAD, but I’m sure I’m underutilizing it a lot.
I wrote a bit about it here if you’re curious https://hackaday.io/project/202488-manhattan-subway-map/deta...

This is awesome. I’ve also been playing with OnShape to make lamps and it’s been quite challenging. I also tried Blender but the learning curve is just too steep for me. I like this idea of using Python. I might try OpenSCAD too like someone else suggested. Here’s my lamp if you’re curious, printed with a .8 mm nozzle, otherwise it would fail https://imgur.com/a/mRqw1pI

Looks quite fun

Aside from Fusion360, is there a Free (or FOSS) cad package that uses breps and is scriptable?
