CadQuery is an intuitive, easy-to-use Python library for building parametric 3D CAD models. It has several goals:
2013-04-15 21:22:54 -04:00
2015-11-28 21:05:20 -05:00
* Build models with scripts that are as close as possible to how you'd describe the object to a human,
using a standard, already established programming language

2015-11-28 21:05:20 -05:00
* Create parametric models that can be very easily customized by end users
2013-04-15 21:22:54 -04:00
2015-11-28 21:05:20 -05:00
* Output high quality CAD formats like STEP and AMF in addition to traditional STL
* Provide a non-proprietary, plain text model format that can be edited and executed with only a web browser
