 "what": "nurb is an agentic CAD tool that lets an AI model 3D printable parts, check them for print problems, and show them in a live viewer.",
 "why": "",
 "language": "Python",
 "requirements": [
  "An AI subscription you already pay for, such as one that works with your agent or terminal",
  "A Mac (the app is provided for Apple silicon and Intel) or a terminal with uv or pip available",
  "A 3D printer and a slicer such as OrcaSlicer or Bambu Studio, if you want print time and filament estimates"
 ],
 "audience_note": "Makers and hobbyists with a 3D printer, and developers who want AI agents to design and check printable parts through a CLI.",
