OpenSCAD @openscad.bsky.social · 17/08/2025After a long time of battle testing, we’ve now made the Manifold backend in #OpenSCAD the default. This means that all new users of the development snapshot will, starting with the next nightly build, experience significantly faster rendering. #3dprinting #floss 1121
OpenSCAD @openscad.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Due to this topic coming up recently, we'll have a look at how #OpenSCAD supports typographic features some modern fonts have. A list of features can be found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... along with a short description of what they do. 120

![A screenshot of the OpenSCAD GUI, the 3D view showing a simple rectangular open box. The more interesting part is the code editor though. It shows a couple of lines of python code, implying the box was not produced from a normal scad script but from this python code.
The actual code shown is:
from openscad import *
c1 = cube([10, 20, 11], center = True)
c2 = cube([8, 18, 12], center = True)
box = c1 - (c2 + [0, 0, 2])
box.rotate([0, 0, 40]).show()](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4zhash6sou74lxhugw25yhdp/bafkreiaj3zfaw4cmeogq6elzbfnzddfjcwwblvmlp7bsobvixgx4bvmbqu)
