cli-hub-matrix-3d-cad
Capability-based multi-tool matrix for 3D modeling, CAD, point clouds, rendering, GPU debugging, and fabrication. Covers mesh/parametric/photogrammetry and the path from idea to printed part or game-ready asset.
Why this skill is useful
Provides a capability-based matrix for 3D modeling tools that includes niche commands and integration patterns not commonly known.
What it needs
Requires blender, cli-hub, colmap, cura, freecad, meshroom, openmvg, openmvs, openscad, prusaslicer, renderdoc, slic3r installed locally. Requires fusion360, luma, onshape account access. About 6k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-03. 46,739 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
3D & CAD Matrix (S3 — v2 capability-based) Scenario S3. Strongest technical scenario in the matrix by depth — Blender + FreeCAD + CloudCompare + RenderDoc is rare coverage. Structural gaps: texturing and fabrication slicing. Schema: docs/cli-matrix/matrixregistry.schema.md. Matrix plan: docs/cli-matrix/cli-matrix-plan.md. Install --- Provider selection constraints 1. Use preflight as an availability report, not as a provider selector. 2. Treat provider order as documentation order only. 3. Choose from user requirements, output quality bar, offline needs, credential state, install cost, and provider notes. 4. Escalate to paid or metered APIs only when credentials are already present or the user explicitly consents. Offline context? Most of this matrix is offline-first; rendering and photogrammetry are the exceptions. --- Preflight Run cli-hub matrix preflight 3d-cad --json first. Use the manual block below for extra probes or older cli-hub versions. --- Suggest-to-user template Example: To enable cloud photogrammetry via Luma AI, please set LUMAAPIKEY. Cost: metered per-scan.
