OpenSCAD iterative modeling loop (SCAD → PNG → refine)

When to Use This Skill

• The user asks to create, design, or model a 3D object (bracket, enclosure, mount, gear, etc.)
• The user sends a picture of an object and asks to recreate it in 3D
• The user wants to render or preview OpenSCAD code
• The user asks to export an STL file from a SCAD description
• Any request that can be expressed as parametric CSG geometry

Prerequisites

Required Tools

• OpenSCAD MCP Server: Required for rendering and exporting OpenSCAD geometry
  • Enables: render_scad_png (SCAD → PNG preview), export_scad_stl (SCAD → STL mesh)
  • Tool names may be namespaced by the host (e.g. mcp_openscad-mcp-_render_scad_png); match by suffix
  • Must be configured and running to render previews and export models
