Excellent. You might be interested in a Python library that I wrote for generating 3D meshes (STL files) from SDFs : https://github.com/fogleman/sdf It just uses marching cubes for triangulation but the SDFs are all numpy'd and the SDF is evaluated in batches on multiple threads so it's relatively fast. I wrote it because I was a little frustrated with OpenSCAD. SDFs make it trivial to do things like rounded corners, for example.
