Hi,
Yes & No.
OpenSCAD is unitless, so theoretically if you can work in 64 bit IEEE
floating point OpenSCAD limits
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/General#Values_and_Data_Types
, you should be good.
However, ATM there are issues with small numbers. If you operate at, say, a
scale 10000 times bigger, then scale down the final result by 10000 then it
should be OK. But you'd want to do some early testing to make sure.
(Depending how small you want to go 100,000 maybe wise)
