Welcome to cqparts’ Documentation!

What is cqparts?

cqparts is CAD for Python programmers, short for “cadquery parts”.

Using cqparts you can wrap geometry made with cadquery to build complex and deeply parametric models.

What can I do with cqparts?

You can build solid geometry in the same way you write an application; your geometry can be built on a headless system, automated, and revision controlled to your hearts content.

You can export your models ready to be processed for 3d printing, or milling, or to be displayed / imported to another 3d app.

What you should know

As this library is an extension of cadquery, it’s highly recommended you have an understanding of what cadquery is, and how to use it first.
