    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.

    SolidWORKS is a BREP sketch extrude modeler and had a very steep learning curve. It is not like Tinkercad.
