text-to-cad Hits GitHub Weekly Chart: CAD Skills for Agents

Open-source project text-to-cad is on GitHub's weekly chart, with 19,249 stars at the time of checking. It is a plugin plus skills set for coding agents: agents can generate 3D models locally as STEP, GLB, STL or 3MF files, run design-for-manufacturing (DFM) checks, produce engineering drawings, and connect to 3D printing, sheet-metal and CNC fabrication services.

What happened

text-to-cad was created on GitHub on April 22, 2026, has shipped 82 releases and is MIT-licensed. It is built on the build123d library and the Open CASCADE geometry kernel, with the Python package named cadgen. It ships as plugins and skills for agents that support those frameworks — including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini and Grok — and includes a local MCP server and a browser-based model viewer.

According to the project, the models agents generate are files that can go straight into fabrication: engineering formats such as STEP, design-for-manufacturing checks, engineering drawings, and ordering entry points for 3D printing, sheet-metal and CNC services.

Key facts

  1. Traction: 19,249 stars and 1,896 forks on GitHub at the time of checking, on the weekly chart.
  2. Outputs: STEP, GLB, STL and 3MF files, plus engineering drawings.
  3. Supported agents: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Grok and others.

Why it matters

text-to-cad extends what coding agents deliver from text and code to manufacturable STEP engineering files; it has 19,249 stars and 82 releases in under six months since creation.
