OpenScad Polygon Generator

thingiverse

This experiment demonstrates generating SCAD files using ActionScript 3.0 and Flex, as an attempt to utilize one programming language for another. The process involves creating polygons in OpenSCAD, which is powerful but difficult to read, with the help of a visual generator tool created by the user. Although the app lacks undo functionality and only allows drawing on a grid, it serves as a test for potential future enhancements. The developer has shared updates about the project's progress, including the addition of layers, point manipulation, curve support, and save file options in XML or JSON format. The AIR app is available for installation, and users are encouraged to view a YouTube video for instructions on how to use it and see examples of generated SCAD files that have been compiled into STL files for 3D printing. Additionally, the FXP source code is available for importing into Flash Builder, although it may be considered sloppy. Despite not being ready for release yet, the user remains optimistic about its future developments.
