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.

Also check out build123d; uses Python instead of a non standard DSL, and supports fillets/chamfers

I wrote my own fillet function in openscad. It was a fun adventure to work out the geometry. Next time I'll use some else's function.
