A library of agent skills for CAD, CAE and CAM

What it solves

It provides a library of specialized skills that allow AI agents to handle the end-to-end workflow of computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). It bridges the gap between plain-language requests and the creation of physical artifacts by enabling agents to generate, inspect, and prepare files for fabrication.

How it works

The project implements a set of "skills" that can be integrated into AI agents (such as Codex, Claude Code, or Grok Build). These skills allow the agent to perform specific technical tasks, such as generating 3D models from text or images, sourcing off-the-shelf parts, writing robot description files (URDF/SDF), and slicing meshes into G-code for 3D printing.

Who it’s for

It is designed for developers and engineers who want to empower AI agents to automate mechanical design, robotics configuration, and fabrication preparation.

Highlights

  • CAD Generation: Creates and edits models from text or images, exporting to STEP, STL, 3MF, and GLB.
  • Robotics Support: Generates URDF, SRDF (for MoveIt2), and SDF files for robot structure and simulation.
  • Manufacturing Integration: Includes tools for DXF drawing creation, DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) printability checks, and G-code slicing.
  • Hardware Sourcing: Ability to find off-the-shelf STEP parts like motors and bearings.
  • Direct Printing: Integration for dry-running and uploading print jobs to Bambu Lab printers.
