What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation and management of parametric 3D CAD models using KCL (KittyCAD Language). It eliminates the manual, repetitive aspects of CAD design, ensures code quality, and helps you build robust, adaptable models efficiently.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Code-First CAD Modeling: Generate and modify complex 3D geometry using a programmatic approach, enabling precise control and automation.
• Parametric Design: Easily create models that can be adjusted with parameters, making design iterations and variations simple and fast.
• Automated Workflow Tools: Leverage zoo CLI for linting, formatting, and exporting KCL models to formats like STL, ensuring high-quality, production-ready outputs.
• Use Case: Design a parametric mounting plate where you can easily change dimensions, hole patterns, and features by simply updating input variables, then automatically export the updated design to an STL file for 3D printing.

Quick Start

Design a parametric mounting plate with four corner holes, 80mm wide, 80mm high, and 5mm thick, using KCL.
