Yeah they&#x27;re not remotely comparable. For 99% of CAD stuff SolidWorks is <i>far</i> superior. It is only with occasional tasks that are generative or highly repetitive that you would sanely want to use OpenSCAD.<p>Examples of when you&#x27;d use OpenSCAD:<p>* Computational art (e.g. convert a photo into some 3D model, print a sound wave, etc.)<p>* Gears, sprockets, etc.<p>* Fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.)<p>Examples of things you would be insane to use OpenSCAD for, and should definitely use something like SolidWorks:<p>* Motorbike<p>* Cordless drill<p>* CNC machine<p>* Well pretty much everything except the stuff I listed above
