| The advantage of starting with 3D is that allows for a continuous development of one model, instead of switching the complete model. | The advantage of starting with 3D is that allows for a continuous development of one model, instead of switching the complete model. | ||||

| Together with the physics model there will be a solid 3D CAD model. | |||||
| The CAD model helps to check with dimensions and possible collisions of objects. | |||||
| With a full dynamics model in 20-sim, the next step was to design the system in OpenSCAD. | |||||
| Although 20-sim has a 3D editor, it is significantly easier to build components with OpenSCAD. | |||||
| Furthermore, for prototyping the OpenSCAD objects can be exported for 3D printing. | |||||
| The model made it possible to check component clearance and get an idea of size. | |||||
| The model is shown in \autoref{fig:scad_carriage}. | |||||
