What is nwo-text-cad?

NWO Text-to-CAD is a Python library that turns plain-language descriptions into mechanical design files and robot specifications. Instead of drawing parts manually in CAD software, you describe what you need in a sentence, for example "L-bracket 100x50x5mm with 4 M5 holes", and the library generates the corresponding 3D model, which can then be exported as STEP or STL files ready for manufacturing or 3D printing. The library covers several related tasks beyond basic part generation. It can produce URDF files, which are standard robot description files defining how a robot's joints and links fit together, useful for simulating or programming robotic arms, wheeled rovers, and quadruped (four-legged) robots. It can also generate assembly sequences explaining how parts go together, estimate manufacturing costs, produce CNC machining programs, and suggest 3D print settings for a given material such as PETG. An optional integration with the NWO Robotics API adds a task-aware layer: given a specific job a robot needs to perform, the system can automatically design the appropriate hardware, dispatch it for manufacturing, and coordinate assembly. This closes a loop where robots can, in theory, design and manufacture their own hardware upgrades without human intervention. The library is available on PyPI as nwo-text-cad and requires Python 3.11 or later. It can be used standalone for general CAD generation or with the NWO Robotics API for robotics-specific workflows.
