A Python library for generating 3D meshes from signed distance functions (SDFs) with a simple, operator-based API supporting constructive solid geometry. It exports binary STL natively and other formats via meshio, making it well suited for 3D printing workflows.

Use cases

• generate 3d printable models from code
• create meshes using signed distance functions in python
• constructive solid geometry modeling with union intersection difference
• export stl files programmatically for 3d printing
• procedurally generate gears, knurling, and woven patterns
• convert sdf shapes to obj ply or vtk meshes

When to choose

• you want a minimal Python API for CSG-style 3D modeling
• you need to 3D print models generated from code
• you prefer defining geometry mathematically rather than in a CAD tool

When to avoid

• you need interactive GUI-based 3D modeling
• you require high-performance real-time rendering of SDFs
• you need mesh editing or repair of existing models
