@Avanti (Pete) -- If you're an experienced programmer, you may also want to look at Open JSCAD (https://openjscad.org/) as well.  You can do a lot more in terms of defining very complex parts programmatically.  I like openSCAD because I can whip up something very fast.  (I have my own Java Library for making very advanced extrusions following curves from complex 2D paths...think goose neck building lights, but it is very programmatic.  It was also a challenge getting all the math in place for the transforms and, as you might expect, it is incomplete.)

Well, I really, really hate Javascript, so I think I will pass on that one.

However, I am a big fan of Python, and your suggestion make me wonder if anyone had done Python bindings to openSCAD...  As it turns out, EVERYBODY has. There must be a dozen such projects. Now I am wondering how not to bet on the wrong horse.

This link suggests that SolidPython is the most popular. Any opinion?
