What it is

A plugin and skill pack that lets coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor produce 3D models locally and export them as STEP, STL, GLB or 3MF. It builds on build123d and Open CASCADE, runs design-for-manufacturing checks, produces engineering drawings, and includes a local MCP server with a model viewer. Engineers and makers use it to describe parts in plain language and send the results to 3D printing, sheet metal or CNC services.
