Background

One limitation of OpenSCAD is that exporting models is a manual process, which makes exporting a large number of models to separate files or folders tedious and slow. One workaround is to render multiple parts in the same view, and export them together as a single model. However, exporting is still manual, and complex projects may need multiple part packs

This project aims to address that limitation by allowing the model and folder paths to be defined programmatically, and using multithreading to render models in parallel, leading to an overall much faster and automated export for projects with many parts.
