text-to-cad: Design physical products with AI.

What problem it solves

Turning natural-language or image requests into manufacturable 3D models requires structured CAD workflows, engineering documentation, and fabrication checks. The project addresses these tasks by giving agents local workflows for creating, inspecting, exporting, and preparing physical-product designs.

Key features

  • Script-based 3D model generation — Agents create models as Python scripts with build123d, then run those scripts to produce CAD documents and exportable model files.

    Source: README

  • Live CAD viewing and rebuilds — The CAD viewer displays the model inside an agent app or browser and follows each rebuild. Models remain in server memory so edits rebuild only what changed.

    Source: README

  • Fabrication and manufacturing checks — Design-for-manufacturing workflows review parts for sheet metal, CNC machining, and injection molding, while another workflow measures mesh printability for specific processes.

    Source: README

  • Engineering drawings and 2D designs — The skills produce dimensioned engineering drawings and create 2D DXF files for profiles, templates, gaskets, and cut layouts.

    Source: README

  • Fabrication service connections — The project can prepare models for printing and connect them to 3D printing, sheet metal, CNC, and other fabrication services, including G-code generation and printer workflows.

Who it may suit

This may suit makers, engineers, and robotics developers who want an agent to create CAD models, drawings, robot descriptions, simulation assets, or fabrication-ready files through local workflows.

Topics to discuss

  • Which additional CAD or fabrication skill workflows would be most useful to the community?

  • How should agents present design-for-manufacturing findings and cited rules for review?

  • Which agent applications and local installation scenarios need the most testing or documentation?
