The Prompt to CAD File Generator is a tool designed to help individuals who are new to Computer-Aided Design (CAD) easily create entry-level designs. By simply providing a text prompt, users can generate 3D models in STL format. Additionally, the tool features a gallery where users can view and download STL files created by others, fostering a community of shared designs and inspiration.

• Text to CAD Conversion: Generate 3D models from text prompts using the KittyCAD API.
• STL File Viewer: Visualize generated STL files directly within the application.
• Gallery: Browse and search through a gallery of STL files created by other users.
• Download STL Files: Download STL files for personal use or further modification.
• Oski Integration: Integrate with Anthropic's latest model of Claude for a simple way to get assistance in your 3D modeling.

To get started with the Prompt to CAD File Generator, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/razorback4417/calhacks.git
cd calhacks

2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

1. Run the Streamlit application:

streamlit run app.py

2. Navigate to the application in your web browser: Streamlit will provide a local URL (usually http://localhost:8501) where you can access the application.

3. Generate a CAD File:

   • Enter a text prompt in the input field.
   • Click the "Create CAD File" button.
   • The generated STL file will be displayed and can be downloaded.

4. View the Gallery:

   • Click the "Go to Gallery" button to navigate to the gallery page.
   • Use the search bar to filter creations by prompts.
   • View and download STL files created by other users.

The project relies on the following Python packages:

• streamlit: For building the web application.
• kittycad: For interacting with the KittyCAD API.
• numpy: For numerical operations.
• matplotlib: For plotting and visualizing STL files.
• numpy-stl: For handling STL files.

• KittyCAD: For providing the API to convert text prompts to CAD files.
• Streamlit: For making it easy to build and share web applications.
