The MIT-licensed repo has pulled in 2,262 GitHub stars for chaining part sourcing, cut validation and Bambu print upload into one sequence.
Why now: The library surfaced in coverage dated July 27, 2026, after crossing 2,262 GitHub stars.
A GitHub library called text-to-cad chains ten skills, taking Claude Code and Codex from a sketch to a finished 3D print, per its repo.
For builders, that closes a gap agents haven't had: going from a written prompt to a validated, printable part without opening separate CAD software. The repo handles CAD modeling with STEP output, plus STL, 3MF and GLB export, built on build123d, a Python CAD kernel over OpenCascade.
It also covers steps that usually sit outside a coding agent's reach. step.parts handles sourcing for off-the-shelf screws and bearings, and DXF output covers 2D fabrication drawings.
SendCutSend runs pre-fabrication checks before a part gets cut, and URDF, SRDF and SDF formats handle robot description authoring.
G-code slicing ties to specific printer profiles, and finished jobs upload straight to a Bambu Labs printer.
A browser-based viewer covers CAD models, G-code and robot descriptions in one interface, per the repo. The whole thing lives in ten Markdown files, and it's picked up 2,262 GitHub stars.
