OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects. It focuses on CAD aspects rather than artistic ones. OpenSCAD is not an interactive modeller. Instead it is something like a 3D-compiler that reads in a script file that describes the object and renders the 3D model from this script. This gives the designer full control over the modelling process and enables him to easily change any step in the modelling process or make designes that are defined by configurable parameters. notable dependencies of this software are libcgal (which is non-free, but it's just some QPL parts, so openscad will go to contrib) and opencsg, which is not yet packaged (RFP/ITP will follow). i have a more-or-less ready package at [1], but as this is both the first package of software i didn't write myself and the first package i use with platform dependent binaries (ie not python), i'll need some feedback on whether i'm doing it right (everything works quite ootb, but i'm not sure if it works everywhere). the only left over lintian complaint is binary-without-manpage, and it can be built in cowbuilder with the opencsg packages from [2].
