From my experience trying to build parametric CAD modeling using FluidCAD [1] using its MCP, the biggest breakthrough is ASTRA. It seems to work well actually with any CAD if it has ways to verify its output. No otjer models was able to match its accuracy even Fable.
+1 for what adrian_b answered above.
All the promotion are for free open source projects and none of them is profitable.
I think this is totally fine, people like to know about alternatives and all these tools are for the purpose of learning and making parametric CAD more approachable to users. They have same goal with different implementation.
My particular immediate use case would be to export the board outline and mounting holes from a kicad project (SVG or DXF, whatever works) and build a chassis for it. Obviously I can do this in freecad but I've been looking for an intuitive cad-as-code system to check into git instead. So this would be awesome!
While not code as CAD, Dune 3D has the creation of enclosures for electronics projects as its _raison d’être_, and has a facility for Python scripting:
Replicad is designed primarily to be used as a library with the web editor as a helper.
FluidCAD is designed to be used as full CAD package code + UI. I've outlined some of my motives in recent post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47721997
