lab-hardware-cad
Designs custom laboratory hardware as parametric build123d models and exports fabrication artifacts as STEP, STL, and DXF files - microfluidic chips and molds, optomechanical mounts and breadboard adapters, cuvette and microplate holders, tube racks, animal-behavior rigs, and 3D-printed instrument fixtures. Use when a research task needs a physical part that must mate with standardized labware, an optical table, a cage system, or a printer, CNC, or laser process.
- Version
- 1.5
- License
- MIT
- Compatibility
- Python 3.11-3.14 with build123d 0.13.0 and matplotlib for snapshots. Geometry commands require build123d; the standards lookup and the interface check run on the standard library alone. Network needed for installation and current vendor drawings; local geometry checks run offline.
