OpenSCAD
brew install --cask openscad@snapshot
v2026.06.12
Programmable 3D CAD modeler that generates solid geometry from scripts rather than GUI interactions.
Why you might care
OpenSCAD is ideal for developers and engineers who prefer code-based parametric design over traditional CAD interfaces. It excels at creating reproducible, version-controllable 3D models and is particularly popular in the maker community for 3D printing designs. Being open-source and free makes it accessible for hobbyists and professionals alike.
