I like the idea of openscad and sometimes use it, but the fact that it is no good for producing drawings suitable for machinists or 2d CAM programs is too much of a limitation. I wish someone would extend the idea to be more universally useful. Also, I wish I could afford for that someone to be me.


That limitation is a big part of why I've been extending it at:

https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview

I've got it making DXFs (w/ arcs) which can then be used for 2D CAM.

If you'll give me an example of a project you'd like to make I'll gladly see if I can code it up.
