What it does

Generates STEP, GLB, STL or 3MF files and engineering drawings
Manufacturability checks and links to 3D printing, sheet metal and CNC services
Open source (MIT); works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini or Grok, often paid

! Open-source plugin (MIT). It generates STEP, GLB, STL or 3MF files, runs design-for-manufacturing checks, produces engineering drawings and connects to 3D-printing, sheet-metal and CNC services. Telemetry is on by default (usage stats and crash reports, never your files, paths or prompts): turn it off with `uvx cadgen telemetry off`. On Windows 11, Smart App Control may block an unsigned native module (see the README). Information from the official repository.
