It’s software cad. You write code that makes the 3d model. And then you print the 3d model.

The last “official release” was 2 years ago. But development (and community) is active. You gotta get the nightly builds.

    That’s a great point. OpenSCAD is lightweight and FOSS so it is a lot easier to share than Fusion360 for example

      OpenSCAD is only lightweight till you start working with Minkowski transformations and hulls. Then you just want a faster CPU.

          Two reasons.

          1. In conjunction with hulls to make nice organic shapes. Cubes and Prisms are nice but I like my designs to look organic. Nice round edges make for nicer 3d prints too.
          2. Concave Fillets
