• cadquery2web - A browser based CadQuery server.

CLIs

• cq-cli - Command Line Interface for executing CadQuery scripts and converting their output to another format.

Extensions and Plugins

• cadquery-plugins - A collection of community contributed plugins that extend the functionality of CadQuery.
• cq_warehouse - cq_warehouse augments CadQuery with parametric parts - generated on demand - and extensions to the core CadQuery capabilities.
• cq-kit - This repository contains utility classes and functions to extend the features and capabilities of the CadQuery python library.
• cqMore - cqMore aims to add more fundamental API to CadQuery.
• sphinxcadquery - An extension to visualize CadQuery 3D files in your Sphinx documentation.
• cq_gears - Gear generator for things like spur gears, helical gears, and planetary gear sets.
• dl4to4ocp - Library that helps perform topology optimization on your OCP-based CAD models (CadQuery/Build123d/...) using the dl4to library.
• ocp-freecad-cam CAM for CadQuery and Build123d by leveraging FreeCAD library. Visualizes in CQ-Editor and ocp-cad-viewer. Spiritual successor of cq-cam
• freecad_import - A plugin which allows users to import FreeCAD models into CadQuery, and will apply parameters to the model if they are provided and the model is a parametric one (contains a FreeCAD spreadsheet document).
• assembly-mesh-plugin - A plugin to create a mesh of an assembly with corresponding color, layer and name data.

Part Libraries and Part Generators

• CQ_Gears - CadQuery based involute profile gear generator.
• cq-electronics - Pure CadQuery models of various electronic boards and components.
• KiCad Packages3D Generator - Python scripts for generating 3D electrical component models in STEP and VRML.
• cq-gridfinity - A python package for making various Gridfinity compatible objects such as baseplates, boxes, rugged boxes, and drawer spacers. PyPI package available.
• metric_threads - Module for generating internal and external metric threads.

Miscellaneous

• selector_synthesis - Collection of methods for synthesizing CadQuery selectors for faces, edges and vertices.
• Nales - Nales is a GUI CAD application that aims to bring full interactivity to CadQuery.
• Semblage - Semblage is an open source CAD GUI backed by a programmatic CAD API named CadQuery.
• cq-flake - A nix flake that allows you to reproduce a CadQuery and CQ-editor installation anywhere that has the nix package manager.
• ocp-action - GitHub Action that builds OCP models (CadQuery/Build123d/...), renders them and sets up a model viewer on Github Pages.
