    Comments about OpenSCAD as an Alternative to Autodesk Tinkercad

    Though OpenSCAD is text based, the methodology of CSG operations as a basis for making shapes is identical. This is a good alternative for programmers who like tinkercad but want more precision.

    A very promising alternative to tinkercad for those who don’t have a good connection and need an offline alternative. There is still some bugs and necessary improvements but the developers team is very active. There are still some bugs and improvements

    They both have the same workflow, but CaDoodle is an offline version. Model files are stored securely on your own computer.

    It tries to mirror the easy to use tools of Tinkercad onto a local program and doesn't have a steep learning curve like traditional CADs
