A Claude Code skill for generating parametric 3D-printable models using CadQuery. Describe a physical object, and Claude will write a parametric script, export STL, render previews, and iterate with you until it's right.
Read the full write-up: I Taught Claude to Design 3D-Printable Parts. Here's How
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
git clone https://github.com/flowful-ai/cad-skill ~/.claude/skills/parametric-3d-printingRequires Python 3.10-3.12 (CadQuery's OCC kernel does not have wheels for 3.13+):
python3.12 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install cadquery trimesh pyrender Pillow| File | Purpose |
