Talk2CAD for Workshop
The idea takes ten seconds. Modelling it used to take two hours.
You know exactly what the part should look like. It does not fail on skill, but on the fact that sketch, extrusion and dimensioning eat two hours – for a part that prints in thirty minutes. Describe it, have it built, and adjust what does not fit.
Six parts you cannot buy like that.
Outer dimensions, wall thickness, cut-outs for sockets and screw bosses – all as numbers, not as a sketch.
One holder, one grid, as many tools as you like.
So the twentieth hole sits like the first.
Between tool port and vacuum hose – the classic that never exists in exactly your combination.
Enter module, tooth count, bore and hub. The model works out the teeth.
Compartments to fit your parts, not the box's own layout.
Free as an STL. Dimensions adjustable right on the model – no account.







What a printed part can do – and what it cannot.
Printed gears run, but not forever under load. PLA becomes brittle outdoors under UV. And anything that safety depends on – climbing harness, tow hitch, overhead mount – does not belong in the printer, however good it looks.
PLA for shaped parts and prototypes, PETG for mechanics and heat, ASA for outdoors. With jigs it pays to set the wall thickness a millimetre higher than it looks.
A configurator only knows the parts somebody created beforehand. Here the model comes out of your description – and still gets sliders afterwards, because it is built as parametric source code, not as a rigid mesh.
Yes, as an OpenSCAD file. You can carry on writing it in an editor or keep building locally – you are not tied to anything.
Then you say what is wrong ("move the bore 2 mm further out") instead of starting over. The model gets changed, not replaced.
Yes. Talk2CAD can be added as a connector in the Claude app and in Claude Code - you describe the part in the conversation and get the STL back without opening the application. Same account, same credits, same projects. How to set it up is described under /connector.
Describe your part. 50 generations on the house – and you see up front what comes after that.
