When to use it
Design custom laboratory hardware as parametric build123d models and export fabrication-ready 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.Example requests
Ask your agent in plain language, for example:- “I need a 3D-printable adapter that holds a standard 96-well plate on my microscope stage insert. Can you model it?”
- “I have a PDMS mold design for a T-junction droplet generator, 50 µm tall x 100 µm wide channels, 1/16” OD tubing inlets. Write me a parametric build123d script
droplet_mold_model.pyand export STEP plus a DXF for the photomask. Our mold will be made by SLA printing because the cleanroom is booked.” - “We want to hold a 1-inch filter in the beam path of our setup and bolt it to the optical table. I don’t know what the hole spacing on our table is. What should we make?”
