this part was generated AND printed with one prompt using codex + text-to-cad: “Make me a thick Möbius strip, and use computer use to print on my Bambu Labs A1 Mini” went to the gym, came back 1.5 hours later and it was sitting on the build plate

Here's a sendcutsend skill for Codex that catches DFM issues before you place orders It even generates diagrams with GPT Image 2 to highlight the issues Works for any DXF or STEP file 🪄

Inverse kinematics and path planning done! Codex basically one shotted this again. It's using ros2/moveit2 which does a lot of the heavy lifting and should generalize well to other embodiments. Will push to text-to-cad soon. Next step IRL assembly and testing!

Say hello to text-to-cad, an open source tool for generating 3D models in Codex! Prompt and edit complex 3D models. Export STEP, STL, GLB, DXF and URDF files. Built for CAD newbies. Link to github below. CAD is hard. As a software engineer getting back into robotics, I’ve been humbled by new tools like Onshape. Struggling to kick old habits, I started prompting Codex to generate 3D models and had some limited succes. After a few iterations I found a recipe that actually works: 1. Generate a python script for every STEP file. The agent can easily edit each part’s source without touching the raw STEP file. Use build123d > cadquery. 2. Reference specific faces and edges in prompts for precise edits. I built a basic local ui to inspect / cache STEP B-reps to make this easier. 3. Maintain markdown explaining important part features in plain English so the model can index on project context quickly. 4. Verify results with screenshots and geometry. Models don’t have great spatial awareness, but they can interpret images and verify constraints very well. For the best results I’ve been using GPT 5.4 xhigh / Opus 4.6+. Fair warning, this will burn through tokens, I recommend the Pro/Max plans if you’re planning on building anything serious. PRs welcome!

To generate 3D models in Codex with text-to-cad: Start a new project, write your prompt for a 3D model, and include a link to clone the text-to-cad repo. Codex handles the rest. The repo is open source and all scripts / ui run locally. Link below.
