Expolinc Booth Designer

AI-driven trade fair booth design for Expolinc modular exhibition systems, powered by FreeCAD + MCP.

Design complete trade fair booths using Expolinc Classic Frame and Light Frame components — via natural language commands through an AI assistant (Claude, etc.). Generate 3D models, technical drawings, and bill of materials from simple descriptions like "a 4x3m island booth with backlit walls and storage room."

Features

Parametric Expolinc component library — Classic Frame profiles, Light Frame backlit modules, connectors, storage rooms, doors, and accessories as parametric FreeCAD objects
MCP server integration — Extends the sergiudanstan/freecad-mcp server with 12 Expolinc-specific tools
Layout engine — Supports inline, corner, peninsula, island, and custom booth configurations
Bill of materials — Component count, dimensions, weights, part numbers, recommended transport cases
Technical drawings — Dimensioned multi-view drawings via FreeCAD TechDraw
CAD export — STEP, STL, OBJ, DXF for manufacturing handoff
