Conway operators allow a wide range of polyhedra to be generated as transformations of the Platonic solids. This openSCAD script implements all the operators + George Hart's propellor + few other additional functions, including one to generate a cutout shell used in the samples
The script uses language features [ concat, list comprehension, let() ] only available in versions since late 2014
The sample solids are
gD - the Catalan solid Pentagonal hexecontahedron
emD - modulated to create a cushion shape
ccD - Goldberg(0,4) modulated to create Piet Hein's superegg
tktI - Goldberg(3,3) ditto both with hexagons cutout
t10k10tD is a favourite of George Hart whose work is an inspiration
These objects were created with openSCAD scripts generated from the website
