Hi everybody, I’m trying to find a solution for modeling based on programming. I have my design ready but I need to build a modular system that will use my already designed core.

Any suggestion are appreciated

Understood thanks. Does anyone have experience with opanscad?

There’s also ImplicitCAD, which is based on Haskell, and Sketchup has a Ruby API built in. So it all depends on what your programming tastes and design needs are.

Openscad is annoying in a bunch of ways (convoluted syntax, basic functions with not quite enough flexibility, sometimes slow) but it’s reliable and you can build useful stuff in it. It also has a bunch of useful libraries.
