text-to-cad est un projet de IA 3D open source, créé par earthtojake (earthtojake/text-to-cad sur GitHub). Il compte 18 426 étoiles sur GitHub et 1 830 forks, il est publié sous la licence MIT et a été mis à jour pour la dernière fois sur GitHub le 8 octobre 2026.
Give your AI agent CAD superpowers - generate real STEP/STL models from text
Decide the part, dimensions and export format (STEP for CAD, STL for printing) you need.
Install it through your agent app - plugin directories for Codex/Claude Code, or a config entry for Claude Desktop.
The plugin starts the local CAD server via uv; make sure uv is installed.
Ask the agent for a part and review it in the CAD Viewer before exporting.
Your agent writes and runs CAD code (via the cadgen tooling) instead of producing a static mesh image.
Exports STEP/STP and STL files usable in downstream CAD and 3D-printing workflows.
Models appear as viewer cards you can orbit and inspect where the host app supports it, or via a browser link.
Documented installs for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build, Gemini and other MCP clients.
Ships skills that teach the agent the CAD workflow and conventions.
Generation runs locally through uv; your files stay on your machine (telemetry is optional and can be turned off).
Get the source code from GitHub and enter the project directory.
git clone https://github.com/earthtojake/text-to-cad.git
cd text-to-cadAdd the CAD server to Claude Desktop's config (Settings > Developer > Edit Config), then restart the app - the config pins a cadgen release run through uvx.
# Paste the server config from the README's Claude Desktop section, then restart Claude DesktopTelemetry can be disabled from the command line, and updates follow the per-host instructions in the README.

Yes - text-to-cad is MIT licensed and free to use.
The CAD tooling runs locally for free; the agent driving it (Claude, Codex and so on) uses your own subscription or API access.
Compared with image-to-3D generators, text-to-cad produces code-based, parametric CAD with real STEP exports through your existing agent, rather than one-shot meshes.
Install it from your agent's plugin directory (or add the server config in Claude Desktop), restart the app, and ask for a simple part.
