Claude Code (Opus 5.5) has gotten quite good at modeling with OpenSCAD. Here's a cat it one-shot modeled for me with a very basic prompt to model a cat as well as a flower press it modeled for me.
In the flower press case I provided it a first example module of what I wanted the code to look like as well as a spec of how I wanted it to work. This is the result of some back and forth iteration. Nevertheless, extremely impressive and much quicker than I could have done it on my own.
(It's striking how different this feels from just earlier this year, when I struggled to get it to do even basic things with basic shapes, like "put a hole in the back of this cube.")
And there it is, an object Claude helped me design now exists in the physical world.
