CadQuery has several goals:

* Build models with scripts that are as close as possible to how you'd describe the object to a human.
* Build lD models with scripts that are as close as possible to how you'd describe the object to a human.
* Create parametric models that can be very easily customized by end users
* Output high quality CAD formats like STEP and AMF in addition to traditional STL
* Output high quality (loss-less) CAD formats like STEP and AMF in addition to traditional STL
* Provide a non-proprietary, plain text model format that can be edited and executed with only a web browser

Using CadQuery, you can write short, simple scripts that produce high quality CAD models. It is easy to make many different objects using a single script that can be customized.

The mach30 project used cadquery to develop a tool that will create a rocket thruster directly from the appropriate equations (https://opendesignengine.net/projects/yavin-thruster/wiki):

We would love to link to your cadquery based project. Just let us know and we'll add it here.
