## About

Give your agent CAD superpowers. The text-to-cad plugin gives your agent local workflows for generating 3D models as STEP, GLB, STL or 3MF files. It also does design for manufacturing checks, generates engineering drawings, and connects to popular 3D printing, sheet metal and CNC fabrication services.

## Install

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar (web or desktop), search for “text-to-cad” and select +. You'll be asked to sign in to any connected service on first use. Then type @ in a chat to call it.
