Limbforge-service

This worker produces STLs generated from parametric CAD designs stored in Fusion360. Results are cached in S3 and future requests for the same parameters are served from the cache.

This is the backend for the (Limbforge)[https://github.com/limbforge/Limbforge] web app. Although this is basically a single-purpose sever, the underlying architecture can be extended to automate CAD-tasks in general.
