It’s software cad. You write code that makes the 3d model. And then you print the 3d model.

The last “official release” was 2 years ago. But development (and community) is active. You gotta get the nightly builds.

      Two reasons.

      1. In conjunction with hulls to make nice organic shapes. Cubes and Prisms are nice but I like my designs to look organic. Nice round edges make for nicer 3d prints too.
      2. Concave Fillets
