OpenScad Revolids

thingiverse

Experience OpenScad's potential by viewing this library of 'Solids of Revolution' (revolids). After completing 100 designs, explore more OpenScad mayhem. This collection contains basic solids like torus, ellipsoid and bezier curves rotated, utilizing the Renderer for individual math. The library allows experimentation with different rendering methods to create 2-manifold shapes and combining them as CSG forms. Standalone closed polyhedra can be created while combining with other primitives may require additional work. Aiming to integrate more solids into tools like RapCAD, Adams also wishes for machines to directly read .scad files instead of slicing .stl files. Download the .scad files, play around and be amazed by the results. For more information, visit the blog posting at http://williamaadams.wordpress.com/2011/06/11/reconsidering-openscad-extensions/.
