text-to-cad is a Python library that provides agent‑compatible skills for generating and manipulating CAD models from natural‑language prompts. It can output STEP, STL, GLB, and 3MF files and includes utilities for engineering drawings and fabrication checks.

Use cases

• Generate 3D CAD models from plain‑language descriptions.
• Create STEP files for mechanical parts using AI prompts.
• Convert CAD designs to STL or GLB for 3D printing.
• Automate the creation of engineering drawings from text.
• Retrieve off‑the‑shelf STEP components like screws or bearings.
• Integrate CAD generation into AI agents such as Claude, Gemini, or Cursor.

When to choose

• You need a local, open‑source solution for AI‑driven CAD generation without relying on cloud services.
• Your workflow involves AI agents that can call plugins or skills.
• You want to programmatically produce STEP, STL, or GLB files from natural language or image inputs.

When to avoid

• You require a full‑featured interactive CAD GUI for complex modeling.
• Your project depends on proprietary CAD kernels not supported by the library.
• You need real‑time high‑performance rendering or simulation beyond file generation.
