Claude writes the CadQuery, it spits out an STL, I look at it, I ask for changes. Code is cheap now, the geometry basically falls out of the script.</p> <p>The maths was never the hard part though. The hard part, by an embarrassing margin, was telling Claude <em>which bit</em> of the model I was talking about.</p>
