Unleash your inner maker and design with code – no CAD or programming experience needed! This educational guide grabs your attention by transforming the way you think about 3D printing. Parametric 3D Printing with OpenSCAD invites you to imagine creating and tweaking your own 3D models simply by changing a few numbers, bringing your ideas to life one line of code at a time.

Written for hobbyists, students, educators, and makers alike, this beginner-friendly book takes a project-based approach to teaching 3D design. You’ll start from scratch and quickly progress through a series of practical projects covering everything from mechanical parts to custom enclosures and handy household tools. Each chapter is an interactive lesson where you’ll write real code to build real objects – phone stands, storage boxes, tool organizers, brackets, and more – gaining skills with every step. The guide is truly educational in nature, breaking down OpenSCAD’s fundamentals in a logical, easy-to-follow way so that even if you’ve never coded or modeled before, you’ll feel at home. By following along, you’ll learn not only the “how” but the “why” behind each design decision, preparing you to tackle your own projects with confidence.

Discover the power of parametric modeling – a technique that lets you build adaptable designs that can be resized or adjusted in seconds. Instead of laboring over one-off models, you’ll create flexible templates: change a value, regenerate the model, and see your design update instantly. OpenSCAD’s code-centric workflow might sound technical, but it actually simplifies the process for beginners by focusing on clear parameters rather than complex menus. You’ll quickly appreciate why OpenSCAD is loved for functional 3D prints: adapters, mounts, enclosures, brackets, organizers, replacement parts, and other everyday tools – the kinds of objects that demand precision and customization – are exactly where this tool shines. With each project, you’ll see how adjusting a few variables (like dimensions or hole sizes) lets you tailor a design to your needs without extensive rework. The result? You gain the freedom to customize anything. No more settling for “almost right” downloads – you’ll have the skills to design solutions that fit perfectly in your world. By the end of the book, you’ll stop feeling like just a consumer of off-the-shelf models and start feeling like the designer of your own solutions, equipped with the mindset to iterate and innovate on your terms.

It’s time to turn your 3D printer into a truly creative tool. Parametric 3D Printing with OpenSCAD gives you the know-how to go from idea to printed part with unprecedented flexibility. Whether you’re a teacher introducing students to code-based design or a DIY enthusiast fixing things around the house, this guide will empower you to create precise, customizable models that you can tweak at will. Don’t worry about steep learning curves or intimidating software – this book’s friendly, step-by-step style ensures you’ll achieve “aha!” moments early and often, fueling your motivation to keep experimenting. Dive into the world of designing with code and join the growing community of makers who have discovered that a few lines of text can produce anything you imagine. Your journey to parametric 3D printing starts now – take the first step and watch your ideas take shape!

Store description

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
