How To Install openscad on Fedora 34
openscad is The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install openscad on Fedora 34.
What is openscad
OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects. Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as the famous application Blender) it does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D modeling but instead on the CAD aspects. Thus it might be the application you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts but pretty sure is not what you are looking for when you are more interested in creating computer-animated movies.
