I think what you did is design the part in “AI Prompt language,” and the fact that the design was saved in OpenSCAD was incidental. You could have asked for the g-code file or for an STL file. I’m guessing that the OpenSCAD file was not human comprehensible.
But now that you say AI-generated OpenSCAD is possible, I’m thinking I might try making things like parameterized gears that way. “Claude, make a spur gear modulo M, with face width F and number of teeth T, place the parameters near the top of the file.” The trouble is that I want to design an entire machine, not just parts, and I want to use 3D CAD to examine and verify the range of movement and do a stress analysis. Is English precise enough that I can prompt an AI to make replacement parts for a machine? Let’s look at a typical part I made. It is the lower leg assembly for a small quadruped robot. It is simple, but could it be scribed in a prompt? Or could it be directly designed in OpenSCAD? https://a360.co/4jDQime > On Sep 30, 2026, at 4:31 PM, maurice e heskett <[email protected]> wrote: > > 0On 9/30/26 17:15, andy pugh wrote: >> On Wed, 30 Sept 2026 at 22:07, Chris Albertson >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> About OpenSCAD, I challenge anyone to make a Milwaukee battery drill in >>> OpenSCAD. >> FWIW I asked an AI (Claude) to create me an OpenSCAD file of a "95th >> percentile handgrip with a trigger" and it created a valid file that >> was not entirely dissimilar to the requested object. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
