Prerequisites

1. OpenSCAD - The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller.

Metal parts

Blueprints building

Quick Start

openscad parts/metal/tiny.scad -o tiny.dxf 

Will produce something like this:

Single part blueprints

Available parts

Panel

openscad parts/metal/part.scad -D 'part=["panel", [3,4]]' -o panel_3x4.dxf 

Wheel

openscad parts/metal/part.scad -D 'part=["wheel", [5]]' -o wheel_r5.dxf 

Angle

openscad parts/metal/part.scad -D 'part=["angle", [5]]' -o angle_5.dxf 

Angled panel

openscad parts/metal/part.scad -D 'part=["apanel", [5,5]]' -o apanel_5x5.dxf 

PI-shaped panel

openscad parts/metal/part.scad -D 'part=["ppanel", [1,5]]' -o ppanel_1x5.dxf
