  1. Overview of Awesome FeatureScripts for Onshape

    master
    This repository is a community-curated collection of custom FeatureScripts for Onshape. FeatureScript is a language used to extend Onshape with custom modeling features. Because Onshape does not have a centralized 'FeatureScript Store', this repository serves as a categorized directory of high-quality, community-made features across various domains like joinery, manufacturing, and geometry.
