Welcome to the CadQuery Discussion Group!

Use this group to discuss CadQuery, a python-based, fluent API for building parametric 3D Models.

The project source code is located on Github

If you are just getting started, and want to run CadQuery on your machine, you might want to start with the CQ-editor GUI.

Please do NOT post project issues here. They belong on the, CadQuery issue tracker
