Script Modeling
with Blender and Python
What is Blender?
• Developed since 1995
• Open source software, Multi platform
• Language: C, C++, Python
‣ Python is used as API interface
‣ Blender has its own python interpreter in the
software（3.5.1 in Blender2.77a）asyncio!!

Script Modeling
with OpenSCAD and Python
What is OpenSCAD?
• CAD software, Open source (GPL)
• Multi platform（Win, Mac, Linux）
• Implemented by C++(Qt)
• Create 3D model using original programming language
• No GUI to manipulate 3D data
Feature of OpenSCAD
• Very good for Software Engineer
• Written script can be kicked from command line
‣ Generate model in Server
‣ Create multiple model with command
Neck tie composed of multiple characters
Generate by 1 command
‣ You can pass arguments from command line to OpenSCAD
script
OpenPySCAD
• Generate OpenSCAD code from Python code
‣ https://github.com/taxpon/openpyscad

• Install via pip command

$ pip install openpyscad


OpenPySCAD
• Union operation

Cube([20, 10, 10]) + Cube([10, 20, 10])

union(){
cube([20, 10, 10])
cube([10, 20, 10])
};
OpenPySCAD
• Difference operation

Cube([20, 10, 10]) - Cube([10, 20, 10])

difference(){
cube([20, 10, 10])
cube([10, 20, 10])
};
OpenPySCAD
• Rotation

c1 = Cube([20, 10, 10])


c1.rotate([0, 0, 45])

rotate([0, 0, 45]){
cube([20, 10, 10])
};

Script Modeling is FUN!!
