Contest Schedule May.13-May.27

In the upcoming release, we will incorporate Parametric Model Maker into our model pages, enabling users to customize models with .scad files (OpenSCAD file format) using the “customize” button. Although OpenSCAD’s latest official release dates back three years, its development has continued, with new features available in development snapshots.

The current solution may not be perfect. However, we deeply believe that making models customizable for users without CAD background is the direction to go. We are open to different parametric modelling solutions (that’s why we call it Parametric Model Maker instead of OpenSCAD previewer). OpenSCAD is our first attempt. Based on our investigation, OpenSCAD is currently the best choice to integrate onto MakerWorld. We will continue to explore other possibilities. We are also open to contributing to OpenSCAD codebase, which depends on the feedback from our users. If you have any suggestions on other solutions, please let us know.

Thanks for your support!
