OpenSCAD 2015.03 released with text objects support (Libre Graphics World)

Libre Graphics World has a look at the new release of OpenSCAD, the 3D solid-modeling tool often used in conjunction with 3D printers. The new features include support for complex text layout, offset functions for manipulating polygons, and the ability to generate height maps from PNG images. "The user interface got a few improvements as well: new startup dialog to quickly open recent files or examples from a library, new QScintilla-based code editor with folding support, SVG and AMF exporting, and more."
