This trend has been empowered by open source hardware projects such as the RepRap 3D printers and the Arduino platform, which have made manufacturing and electronic technology accessible and affordable. Over the last years there have been a movement towards creating and sharing Open Source Hardware (OSH). Thus, making it more appropriate to design open source hardware for scientific equipment. The main benefits are being able to export to standard parametric models using Python language with its libraries and the ability to use and integrate the models in its graphical interface.

Our findings show that although Python for FreeCAD is more arduous to learn, its advantages counterbalance the initial difficulties. We have created a parametric open source hardware design to compare these tools. In this work we analyze OpenSCAD and compare it with FreeCAD Python scripts. This is an important deficiency because it is key to share the design in the most accessible formats with no information loss. However, OpenSCAD lacks the ability to export to standard parametric formats thus, the parametric dimensional information of the model is lost. OpenSCAD is the most widely used scripting tool for parametric modeling of open source labware. Parametric design using a solid modeling programming language allows customization and provides a source file for the design. In addition, parametric modeling is encouraged in order to facilitate customization for other experiments.

To install OpenSCAD from git on Arch Linux the openSUSE packages built on OpenSUSE build service openSUSE Leap 15.3 (64-bit only) openSUSE Leap 15.4 (64-bit only) openSUSE Tumbleweed Fedora packages built on OpenSUSE build service Fedora 33 (x86_64, armv7l, aarch64, ppc64le) Fedora 34 (x86_64, armv7l, aarch64, ppc64le) Fedora 35 (x86_64, armv7l, aarch64, ppc64le) Fedora Rawhide (x86_64, i586) Arch Linux OBS also supports HTTP links, but it's recommended to use In Debian/Ubuntu this is usually handled by theĪpt-transport-https package.

The repository links below are shown as https, please check for your installation if

This can be done by creating a newįile /etc/apt//openscad.list with the URL specific to the distribution. # wget -qO- | sudo tee /etc/apt//obs-openscad-nightly.ascĪfter the key is added, the repository URL needs to be configured.

In this case the following command will download and store the key.

In newer Debian the storage for the key is changed, more information can be found in the apt-key(8) NOTE: If you get errors about an expired key valid till, please re-import via the following command. To install the packages, the release key must be added with apt-key to the key-ring to allowĪpt-get / aptitude to validate the packages.
