text-to-cad lets AI agents code parametric 3D models

text-to-cad is an open-source harness that empowers coding agents like Claude Code to generate deterministic 3D CAD models by writing Python scripts. It exports professional formats like STEP and STL and includes a local viewer for rapid visual iteration.

// ANALYSIS

By using Python libraries like build123d and CADQuery as an intermediary, text-to-cad solves the "messy mesh" problem plaguing direct AI 3D generation tools.

–Agents edit code rather than raw geometry, resulting in fully parametric, editable B-Rep models.
–The included local viewer provides stable geometry handles, letting users prompt the agent with precise visual references for follow-up edits.
–It runs entirely locally without backend requirements, offering a secure alternative to cloud-based AI CAD platforms.
–Integrated URDF export makes it a powerful rapid prototyping tool for robotics developers.
