Open source library that brings Manufacturing As Code concept into build123d ecosystem

MakerRepo

MakerRepo is an open-source Python library that brings the Manufacturing as Code concept into the Build123D ecosystem. It is designed to have as little impact on your existing Build123D project as possible — add a dependency and a few decorators; your models and workflow stay the same.

What is MakerRepo?

MakerRepo is a GitHub-like platform for manufacturing as code. You write Python code to define 3D models with Build123D, push to a Git repository on MakerRepo, and the platform builds your models and hosts the resulting CAD artifacts so you can view and share them.

This repository is the MakerRepo Library — the mr package you add to your project to expose Build123D artifacts to MakerRepo.com (e.g. via the @artifact decorator). The platform’s CI then discovers, builds, and publishes those artifacts.

Features

• Artifacts — Use the @artifact decorator to mark Build123D model functions as publishable CAD artifacts. Control options like sample/cover images and export formats (STEP, 3MF).
• Customizables (generators) — Use the @customizable decorator to define parameterized generators with a Pydantic schema for user-configurable models.
• Cached helpers — Use the @cached decorator to tag functions whose outputs can be cached to speed up builds.

Getting started

1. Create a repository on MakerRepo.com.
2. Add makerrepo to your project and use the @artifact decorator on your Build123D model functions (see Getting Started in the docs).
3. Push your code — CI runs and publishes artifacts to the web UI.

Documentation

• MakerRepo Docs — Full documentation, getting started, and concepts.
• MakerRepo CLI — Use makerrepo-cli to build artifacts and run workflows from the command line.

Requirements

• Python ≥ 3.11
• Build123D ≥ 0.10.0
