What it can do
- Walks through requirements, then builds the model in phases (base shape, features, finish).
- Runs each CadQuery script through a wrapper that captures errors as JSON so Claude can fix them.
- Renders a six-view PNG preview from the STL and can fail on non-watertight meshes.
- Ships a tested Gridfinity bin generator and a tool that cuts pockets from a 3D scan outline.
Limitations
- Licensed for non-commercial use only (PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0).
- Aimed at 3D-printed parts rather than general mechanical design.
