Benchmark: CadQuery vs. OpenSCAD for agentic CAD work
ModelRift conducted a benchmark comparing OpenSCAD, which it uses for all models, against CadQuery, a Python library built on the OpenCascade B-rep kernel, for agentic CAD work. The comparison involved generating various STL models, such as a shelf bracket, enclosure box, enclosure lid, and threaded adapter. Results showed varying triangle counts for the generated STLs, with OpenSCAD sometimes producing fewer (e.g., T2 enclosure box: 2944 tris vs. 14136 tris) and sometimes more (e.g., T1 shelf bracket: 2660 tris vs. 4232 tris) than CadQuery.
