**🌟 OpenSCAD A-Z: Master Scripted Computational Aided Design 🎓

Welcome to the ultimate journey into the world of scripted computational design with OpenSCAD! This course is your gateway to unlocking the full potential of OpenSCAD, a powerful open-source 3D modeller that uses a programming language to create models. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the skills to transform your ideas into stunning 3D designs with ease.

**🚀 What You'll Learn **🎒🔍

• The Fundamentals:

  • Creating 3D Objects: Learn how to bring your designs to life.
  • Transform Objects: Discover the power of scaling, rotating, and translating objects in the design space.
  • Boolean Operations: Master the art of combining shapes with union, difference, and intersection.
  • Flow Control Statements: Get to grips with if, else if, else, and learn how to control your design flow.
  • Functions and Modules: Understand the use of modular coding to make your designs more reusable and maintainable.
  • List Comprehension: Explore powerful list operations to manipulate data structures within OpenSCAD.
  • 2D Objects: Dive into creating flat designs that can be turned into beautiful 3D objects.
  • Extrusion Techniques: Learn how to give depth to your designs by extruding 2D outlines.

• Advanced Topics:

  • Text and Characters: Gain the ability to incorporate text into your designs.
  • Operators and Children: Discover how to use advanced operators like +children to enhance your models.
  • Animation and Time: Animate your designs and create a GIF to bring them to life.
  • Multiple Files: Learn how to organize complex projects by importing multiple files into OpenSCAD.

**🛠️ Hands-On Projects **🖥️👷‍♂️

Put your newfound skills to the test with two comprehensive projects:

1. Gearbox Creation: Build a fully functional gearbox and bring it to life through animation, culminating in a GIF that showcases its mechanics.
2. Airfoil and Low Poly Plane Model: Design an airfoil and use it to create a low poly plane model. This asset can be used in video games or brought into the real world via 3D printing.

**🎓 Your Learning Path **📚🚀

1. Get Comfortable with Basics:

   • Start with understanding the core concepts and building simple objects.

2. Advance Your Skills:

   • Explore textures, operators, and animation to add complexity to your designs.

3. Bring Your Ideas to Life:

   • Complete two hands-on projects from conception to completion.

**🎉 Your Future with OpenSCAD **🎉🌐

Upon completing this course, you'll be proficient in OpenSCAD and ready to apply your skills to any project you can imagine. Whether it's creating game assets, prototyping designs for 3D printing, or simply satisfying your curiosity for computational design, the possibilities are as limitless as your imagination.
