PartCAD Examples

Publish (produce) models

There are many ways to produce a PartCAD model that can be consumed by others.

• Import parts generated by AI:

  • AI-generated CadQuery scripts
  • AI-generated OpenSCAD scripts

• Create and use 2D blueprints (sketches):

  • Primitive sketches
  • DXF files
  • SVG files
  • Parts (3D shapes) using 2D sketch and extrude

• Import parts defined using Python CAD frameworks:

  • Primitive shapes using CadQuery
  • PartCAD logo using CadQuery
  • Primitive shapes using build123d

• Import parts defined using CAD scripting languages:

  • Primitive shapes using OpenSCAD

• Import parts defined using CAD Files:

  • STEP files
  • STL files
  • 3MF files

Get (consume) existing models

Below are some examples of consuming existing modules:

• Python scripts that use CadQuery:

  • Import PartCAD parts in CadQuery scripts

• Python scripts that use buid123d:

  • Import PartCAD parts in buid123d scripts

• Any other Python script:

  • Import PartCAD parts in Python scripts

Get quotes for parts

PartCAD uses providers to implement part orders.

• Provider of the type "store" to buy SKUs
• Provider of the type "manufacturer" to manufacture a model
