    “As experienced software engineers” highlights the problem with many CAD solutions. People who design physical “thingies” professionally are generally not software engineers.

    We of course need a viable solution as an open source product but a lot of this is recreating the wheel without any knowledge of how the wheel is being used or why it is even useful to begin with. So you essentially end up with a knock off version of the wheel that doesn’t work the way someone who is experienced with wheels expects it to work.

      People who design physical thingies professionally do not use OpenSCAD. Maybe a handful do all over the world.
