Do I need to install build123d manually to use this skill?

No, this skill utilizes 'uvx' to run scripts with zero setup, automatically downloading build123d and its dependencies during the first execution.

What file formats are supported for professional CAD software?

The skill supports STEP and BREP formats, allowing for seamless interchange with professional tools like SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or FreeCAD.

How do I handle imports correctly in build123d?

All major classes and functions should be imported directly from the main 'build123d' module. You should never use 'build123d.exporters' as that module structure is not used in the library.

Does it support mechanical parts like gears and bolts?

Yes, it integrates the bd_warehouse library for fasteners and bearings, and the gggears library for advanced parametric gear generation.

Can I export models for 3D printing?

Yes, the skill fully supports exporting to STL and 3MF formats, which are compatible with most 3D printing slicer software.

デザインツール

Enables parametric 3D CAD modeling and mechanical design using the build123d Python library.

概要

This skill empowers Claude to act as a mechanical engineer and 3D designer by providing specialized knowledge of the build123d Python framework. It facilitates the creation of complex 3D solids, boolean operations, and parametric assemblies with zero-setup using the uv package manager. Users can generate high-quality 3D models for prototyping, export them to industry-standard formats like STEP, STL, and GLB, and leverage specialized libraries for gears, threads, and fasteners, making it an essential tool for rapid hardware prototyping and geometric scripting.
