How to Install OpenSCAD on Linux Mint 19 LTS Easy Guide

GNU/Linux Mint 19.x Installing OpenSCAD – QuickStart Guide

Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install OpenSCAD on GNU/Linux Mint 19.x Tara/Tessa/Tina/Tricia LTS.

And OpenSCAD for Linux Mint 19 is a software for creating solid 3D CAD models. It is free software and available for Linux/UNIX, Windows and macOS. Unlike most Free Software for Creating 3D Models (such as Blender) it does Not Focus on the Artistic Aspects of 3D Modeling but instead on the CAD aspects.

Most Noteworthy: OpenSCAD is not an interactive modeller. Instead, it is something like a 3D-compiler that reads in a Script File that Describes the Object and renders the 3D Model from this script file. This gives you (the designer) full control over the modeling process and enables you to easily change any step in the modeling process or make designs that are defined by configurable parameters.

Finally, the Guide include instructions on How to Getting-Started with OpenSCAD on Linux Mint Systems.
