Generate 3D-Printable Models with Claude Code Skill via CadQuery Scripts
tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-09
A developer showcased cad-skill, an open-source project designed as a skill for Claude Code. By simply describing a physical object in natural language, the tool prompts Claude to write the underlying CadQuery parametric script, export STL files, and render iterative previews.
The workflow supports continuous refinement. The author included a practical example demonstrating a scan-to-pocket pipeline: tracing the real footprint of a mouse from a 3D scan to generate a custom-fitted bin, which was then published on MakerWorld.
