johndoe6345789 a8144a5903 feat: Add CadQuery wrapper library for parametric CAD modeling
Python wrapper around CadQuery for simplified 3D CAD operations with
clean API for creating shapes, performing boolean operations, and
exporting to various formats.

import cadquery as cq
# Create a lofted section between a rectangle and a circular section.
# 1. Establishes a workplane that an object can be built on.
# 1a. Uses the named plane orientation "front" to define the workplane, meaning
# that the positive Z direction is "up", and the negative Z direction
# is "down".
# 2. Creates a plain box to base future geometry on with the box() function.
# 3. Selects the top-most Z face of the box.
# 4. Draws a 2D circle at the center of the the top-most face of the box.
# 5. Creates a workplane 3 mm above the face the circle was drawn on.
# 6. Draws a 2D circle on the new, offset workplane.
# 7. Creates a loft between the circle and the rectangle.
