The app, available for Intel Macs via GitHub, also offers a command-line version compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Copilot, and is calibrated on parts that actually printed.", "body_md": "nurb gives the AI you already talk to real CAD skills. Say what you need, **watch it take shape live**, hit print.\n\nThis demo is a lightweight imitation; the real thing runs a full engineering CAD kernel. The STL you download here is real and printable, though. Go print it.\n\nLook at the part, say what's wrong with it. CAD software never opens.\n\nThree things happen. You only do the first.\n\nCalibrated on parts that really printed, and it knows which printer you own.\n\nSome shapes don't come from numbers. Sweep the thing for ten seconds and your part gets built against its real contour.\n\nA door can build clean, check clean, print beautifully, and still not open. Parts that work together get tested together.\n\nThe Mac app is the whole thing in one window. The command line works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, and friends.\n\nYour projects, your AI, and the live viewer side by side. It sets everything up the first time you open it and updates itself.
