Tools 10 found in our last check

• create_upload_link

  Create a short-lived link the user opens in their browser to upload a CAD file (STEP, DXF or SVG). Returns the link and an upload_id. Poll check_upload with the upload_id until it reports a file_id, then call generate_gcode. Free. Before using this, check whether you can run she…

• check_upload

  Check whether the user finished the browser upload. Returns the file_id once ready. Free. NEXT STEP - do not generate yet. Ask the user: 1. Which material? Offer the presets (wood, hardwood, plywood, acrylic, aluminum, steel, brass). If theirs is not among them, pick the closest…

• upload_file_content

  Upload a CAD file by writing its content out yourself. Use this only when a direct curl upload to /api/upload is not possible - that route costs you no output at all. If you must use this tool, ALWAYS compress first and pass the output as content: (xz -9e -c model.step 2>/dev/nu…

• generate_gcode

  Start G-code generation for an uploaded file and wait for the result. Most jobs finish within the wait, so the answer usually already carries the part dimensions and hole diameters - no polling needed. Only if it says the job is still running, call get_job_status once after a fe…

• get_job_status

  Check a generation job. While it runs you get the percentage done, how long it has been running and how much time is left before the generator gives up on its own (180 s). When it fails you get the generator's own reason - pass that on to the user instead of retrying blindly. Th…

• preview_toolpath

  Show the finished tool path as an image (top view and isometric view, cutting moves and rapids in different colours) so the user can sanity-check the job before paying. Free.

• get_download_link

  Return the download link for the finished G-code. THIS is the billed step: one credit per model not paid for yet. Re-downloading the same job or a model already paid for is free. Called without confirm, this tool charges nothing and only reports what the download would cost. Sho…

• convert_mesh_to_step

  Turn an uploaded STL or 3MF mesh back into a STEP solid with exact surfaces - planes, cylinders, cones and fillets instead of triangles, intersected into real edges. Free; only the download of the finished file is charged. Use this when the user has a mesh and needs CAD geometry…

• get_step_download_link

  Return the download link for a STEP file built by convert_mesh_to_step. THIS is the billed step: one credit per model not paid for yet. The DXF contour that comes with a 2.5D part belongs to the same part and costs nothing extra. Called without confirm, this tool charges nothing…

• get_credit_balance

  Show credits left on the access token and how many models are already paid for. Free.
