For 3D printing, I just ask Claude Code to use text based 3D modeling software, and to build a directory tree per project (with make to convert to something the slicer can use). I’ve printed non-trivial projects this way (60 parts) without trouble. Be sure to ask it to parameterize the models and put the parameters at the top.

I imagine this would work just as well for CNC wood carving/routing projects, and maybe even for complex assemblies.
