What is a SCAD file?

SCAD is the file format used by OpenSCAD, a script-based 3D CAD modeling tool. Rather than relying on graphical editing, SCAD files are written in a programming-like language to define geometry and transformations.

This format is particularly favored by developers and engineers who value precision, repeatability, and parametric design. SCAD files are not directly printable or renderable but are used to generate 3D models within OpenSCAD.

How to open SCAD files

SCAD files are opened using OpenSCAD, a free script-based 3D modeling tool. The file must be compiled within the program to generate a viewable 3D model.

You can export the resulting model to STL or other formats, which can then be converted with AnyConv for use in other software.
