+exposed to `.forge.js` scripts — see the member list below for the catalog. Sizes outside the supported ranges throw at runtime with a descriptive error.
+
+- `fastenerHole(opts: FastenerHoleOptions): Shape` — ISO metric fastener hole cutter with optional counterbore or countersink.
+
+  Returns a cutter shape (subtract from a solid to produce the hole). Sizes outside M2–M10 will throw.
+
+  ```ts
+  const plate = box(60, 40, 8)
+    .subtract(lib.fastenerHole({ size: 'M5', fit: 'normal', depth: 8 })
+      .translate(15, 10, 4));
+  ```
+- `tube(outerX: number, outerY: number, outerZ: number, wall: number): Shape` — Rectangular hollow tube (thin-wall box section).
+
+  Both the outer and inner boxes are centered on the XY plane with their base at Z=0.
+- `pipe(height: number, outerRadius: number, wall: number, segments?: number): Shape` — Hollow cylindrical pipe.
+
+  Centered on the XY plane, extending upward along +Z from z=0 to z=height. For complex routed pipe geometry, see `lib.pipeRoute`.
+- `explode<T extends ExplodeItem[] | ShapeGroup>(items: T, options?: ExplodeOptions): T` — Apply deterministic exploded-view offsets to an assembly tree.
+
+  Traverses arrays, nested `{ name, group: [...] }` structures, and [`ShapeGroup`](/docs/core#shapegroup) outputs, translating each node while preserving names, colors, and nesting; returns the same structure type as the input. `radial` mode is branch-aware and parent-relative — nested assemblies peel apart level by level. Named items accept an inline `explode: { stage?, direction?, axisLock? }` override. Bakes the offset into geometry (e.g. driven by a `param()` slider); for a viewport-only slider use [`explodeView()`](/docs/viewport#explodeview) instead.
+
+  ```js
+  const explodeAmt = param('Explode', 0, { min: 0, max: 40, unit: 'mm' });
+
+  return lib.explode(assembly, {
+    amount: explodeAmt,
+    stages: [0.4, 0.8],
+    mode: 'radial',
+    byName: { Shaft: { direction: [1, 0, 0], stage: 1.4 } },
+  });
+  ```
+- `bracket(width: number, height: number, depth: number, thick: number, holeDia?: number): Shape` — L-shaped mounting bracket with optional through-holes.
+
+  Produces a right-angle bracket: a horizontal base plate and a vertical wall. Both legs share `width`. Optional holes are drilled through the base (along Z) and the wall (along Y).
+- `holePattern(rows: number, cols: number, spacingX: number, spacingY: number, holeDia: number, depth: number): Shape` — Rectangular grid of cylindrical hole cutters.
+
+  Returns the union of `rows × cols` cylinders laid out on a regular grid. Subtract from a solid to produce the full pattern.
+
+  ```ts
+  const pattern = lib.holePattern(3, 4, 20, 20, 4, 10);
+  const panel = box(80, 70, 10).subtract(pattern.translate(-30, -20, 0));
+  ```
+- `thread(diameter: number, pitch: number, length: number, options?: { depth?: number; segments?: number; }): Shape` — External helical thread — clean mesh, no SDF grid artifacts.
+
+  Builds a cross-section with a single trapezoidal tooth from the root radius out to the crest radius, then twist-extrudes it so the tooth traces a helix. Manifold's extrude+twist produces structured quad-based geometry that follows the thread profile cleanly.
+
+  Returns a threaded cylinder along +Z from z=0 to z=length.
+- `bolt(diameter: number, length: number, options?: { ... }): Shape` — ISO-style hex bolt with real helical threads.
+
+  The hex head sits from z=0 up to z=headHeight. The shaft extends downward along −Z by `length` mm. An unthreaded shank section is included when `threadLength < length`.
+
+  Default proportions follow ISO 4762 loosely: pitch ≈ 0.15×diameter, head height ≈ 0.65×diameter, across-flats ≈ 1.6×diameter.
+
+  For standard M-size bolts pre-configured for a complete joint, use `fastenerSet` instead.
+- `nut(diameter: number, options?: { ... }): Shape` — ISO-style hex nut with a clearance bore.
+
+  Constructed from the intersection of three rotated slabs with a cylindrical bore subtracted. The nut is centered at the origin, height along Z (−height/2 to +height/2).
+
+  Default proportions follow ISO 4032 loosely: height ≈ 0.8×diameter, across-flats ≈ 1.6×diameter. The bore is a clearance bore — `diameter` + 0.2 mm by default, override with `boreDiameter` for exact bore control — not modelled with helical threads, for rendering efficiency.
+
+  For standard M-size nuts pre-configured for a complete joint, use `fastenerSet` instead.
+- `washer(size: MetricSize, options?: { standard?: WasherStandard; segments?: number; }): Shape` — ISO metric flat washer (DIN 125-A).
+
+  Returns a flat ring centered at the origin, thickness along Z. Dimensions are taken from `WASHER_TABLE`. Sizes outside M2–M10 will throw.
+- `fastenerSet(size: MetricSize, boltLength: number, options?: FastenerSetOptions): FastenerSetResult` — Complete ISO metric fastener set — bolt, nut, optional washers, and matching hole cutters.
+
+  Returns all geometry for one bolted joint: the bolt, nut, up to two washers, a clearance-hole cutter, and a tap-drill cutter. All shapes are returned **un-positioned** (each on the Z-axis). Place them with `.translate()`.
+
+  Sizes outside M4–M10 are supported for the washer (M2–M10); unsupported combinations will throw.

+- `pipeRoute(points: Vec3[], radius: number, options?: { bendRadius?: number; wall?: number; segments?: number; }): Shape` — Route a pipe (solid or hollow) through 3D waypoints with smooth bends.
 
-**Threads:** `thread`
+  This is a convenience recipe over `Curve.Route.fromPolyline()` and [`sweep()`](/docs/curves#sweep). Use `Curve.Route` directly when you need route metadata, named ports, or custom swept profiles.
+- `elbow(pipeRadius: number, bendRadius: number, angle?: number | { ... }, options?: { ... }): Shape` — Pipe elbow — a curved pipe section for connecting two pipe directions.
 
-**Gears:** `spurGear`, `sectorGear`, `driveWheel`, `bevelGear`, `faceGear`, `sideGear`, `ringGear`, `rackGear`, `gearPair`, `bevelGearPair`, `faceGearPair`, `sideGearPair`

+- `beltDrive(options: BeltDriveOptions): BeltDriveResult` — Create a flat open-belt body around two pulley pitch circles.
 
-**Gear bodies:** `gearBodies.disk`, `gearBodies.diskWithHub`, `gearBodies.spoked`, `gearBodies.fromProfile` plus direct aliases `gearBodyDisk`, `gearBodyDiskWithHub`, `gearBodySpoked`, `gearBodyFromProfile`
+  The belt is generated as a tangent loop in the XY plane and extruded along +Z by `beltWidth`. The result includes the solid belt, the 2D belt profile, a thin pitch-path sketch for visualization, total belt length, tangent spans, and wrap metadata for each pulley.
 
-**Gear ratios (pure math helpers):** `gearRatio`, `rackRatio`, `planetaryRatio`
+  For more than two pulleys, the API intentionally asks for route intent before geometry is created. Use `route: "outer"` for the future outside-envelope mode, or an ordered route for future serpentine/idler layouts.
 
-**Bolt patterns:** `boltPattern` — define hole positions once, cut them from multiple parts
+  ```ts
+  const drive = lib.beltDrive({
+    pulleys: [
+      { name: "motor", center: [0, 0], pitchRadius: 12 },
+      { name: "output", center: [80, 0], pitchRadius: 28 },
+    ],
+    beltWidth: 8,
+    beltThickness: 2,
+  });
+  return drive.belt;
+  ```
+- `tangentLoop2d(circles: TangentCircle2D[], options?: TangentLoop2DOptions): TangentLoop2D` — Build a closed 2D route made from common tangent spans and pulley wrap arcs.
 
-**Utilities:** `explode`
+  Use this when you need reusable belt/chain route geometry before creating a solid body. The first implementation supports two circles. `mode: "open"` uses external tangents; `mode: "crossed"` uses internal tangents.

-- `counterbore(holeDia: number, boreDia: number, boreDepth: number, totalDepth: number): Shape` — Counterbore hole cutter — through-hole with a wider cylindrical recess at the top. Use for socket-head cap screws that must sit flush. Subtract from a solid. For ISO metric sizing and fit classes, prefer {
-- `tube(outerX: number, outerY: number, outerZ: number, wall: number): Shape` — Rectangular hollow tube (thin-wall box section). Both the outer and inner boxes are centered on the XY plane with their base at Z=0.
-- `pipe(height: number, outerRadius: number, wall: number, segments?: number): Shape` — Hollow cylindrical pipe. Centered on the XY plane, extending upward along +Z from z=0 to z=height. For complex routed pipe geometry, see `lib.pipeRoute`.
-- `explode<T extends ExplodeItem[] | ShapeGroup>(items: T, options?: ExplodeOptions): T` — Apply deterministic exploded-view offsets to an assembly tree. **Details** Traverses arrays of shapes/sketches/named items, nested `{ name, group: [...] }` structures, and [`ShapeGroup`](/docs/core#shapegroup) outputs, translating each node by a computed offset while preserving names, colors, and nesting. Returns the same structure type as the input. In `radial` mode the algorithm is branch-aware and parent-relative: each node fans out from its immediate parent's center, so nested assemblies peel apart level by level. Named items may also include an inline `explode: { stage?, direction?, axisLock? }` property to override per-item behavior. Use this function when you want to bake the explode offset into the geometry before returning (e.g. to drive the amount with a `param()` slider). For a viewport-only explode slider without rerunning the script, use [`explodeView()`](/docs/viewport#explodeview) instead. **Example** ```js const explodeAmt = param('Explode', 0, { min: 0, max: 40, unit: 'mm' }); return lib.explode(assembly, { amount: explodeAmt, stages: [0.4, 0.8], mode: 'radial', byName: { Shaft: { direction: [1, 0, 0], stage: 1.4 } }, }); ```
-- `hexNut(acrossFlats: number, height: number, holeDia: number): Shape` — Generic hex nut with a cylindrical bore. Constructed via intersection of three rotated rectangular slabs, then a bore is subtracted. Centered at origin, height along Z. For standard ISO metric nuts by thread size, use `lib.nut` instead.
-- `bracket(width: number, height: number, depth: number, thick: number, holeDia?: number): Shape` — L-shaped mounting bracket with optional through-holes. Produces a right-angle bracket: a horizontal base plate and a vertical wall. Both legs share `width`. Optional holes are drilled through the base (along Z) and the wall (along Y).
-- `holePattern(rows: number, cols: number, spacingX: number, spacingY: number, holeDia: number, depth: number): Shape` — Rectangular grid of cylindrical hole cutters. Returns the union of `rows × cols` cylinders laid out on a regular grid. Subtract from a solid to produce the full pattern. **Example** ```ts const pattern = lib.holePattern(3, 4, 20, 20, 4, 10); const panel = box(80, 70, 10).subtract(pattern.translate(-30, -20, 0)); ```
-- `thread(diameter: number, pitch: number, length: number, options?: { depth?: number; segments?: number; }): Shape` — External helical thread — clean mesh, no SDF grid artifacts. **Details** Builds a cross-section with a single trapezoidal tooth from the root radius out to the crest radius, then twist-extrudes it so the tooth traces a helix. Manifold's extrude+twist produces structured quad-based geometry that follows the thread profile cleanly. Returns a threaded cylinder along +Z from z=0 to z=length. **Example** ```ts const t = lib.thread(5, 0.8, 12); // M5 × 0.8 pitch, 12 mm long ```
-- `bolt(diameter: number, length: number, options?: { ... }): Shape` — ISO-style hex bolt with real helical threads. **Details** The hex head sits from z=0 up to z=headHeight. The shaft extends downward along −Z by `length` mm. An unthreaded shank section is included when `threadLength < length`. Default proportions follow ISO 4762 loosely: pitch ≈ 0.15×diameter, head height ≈ 0.65×diameter, across-flats ≈ 1.6×diameter. For standard M-size bolts pre-configured for a complete joint, use { **Example** ```ts const b = lib.bolt(5, 20); // M5 × 20 mm ```
-- `nut(diameter: number, options?: { pitch?: number; height?: number; acrossFlats?: number; segments?: number; }): Shape` — ISO-style hex nut with a threaded bore. **Details** Constructed from the intersection of three rotated slabs with a cylindrical bore subtracted. The nut is centered at the origin, height along Z. Default proportions follow ISO 4032 loosely: height ≈ 0.8×diameter, across-flats ≈ 1.6×diameter. The bore is a clearance bore (not modelled with helical threads) for rendering efficiency. For standard M-size nuts pre-configured for a complete joint, use { **Example** ```ts const n = lib.nut(5); // M5 nut ```
-- `washer(size: MetricSize, options?: { standard?: WasherStandard; segments?: number; }): Shape` — ISO metric flat washer (DIN 125-A). **Details** Returns a flat ring centered at the origin, thickness along Z. Dimensions are taken from { **Example** ```ts const w = lib.washer('M5'); // DIN 125-A M5 washer ```
-- `fastenerSet(size: MetricSize, boltLength: number, options?: FastenerSetOptions): FastenerSetResult` — Complete ISO metric fastener set — bolt, nut, optional washers, and matching hole cutters. **Details** Returns all geometry for one bolted joint: the bolt, nut, up to two washers, a clearance-hole cutter, and a tap-drill cutter. All shapes are returned **un-positioned** (each on the Z-axis). Place them with `.translate()`. Sizes outside M4–M10 are supported for the washer (M2–M10); unsupported combinations will throw. **Example** ```ts const hw = lib.fastenerSet('M5', 20); const topPlate = box(60, 40, 8).translate(0, 0, 12) .subtract(hw.clearanceHole.translate(15, 10, 12)); const botPlate = box(60, 40, 8) .subtract(hw.clearanceHole.translate(15, 10, 0)); return [ { name: 'Top Plate', shape: topPlate }, { name: 'Bot Plate', shape: botPlate }, { name: 'Bolt', shape: hw.bolt.translate(15, 10, 20) }, { name: 'Nut', shape: hw.nut.translate(15, 10, -4) }, ]; ```
-- `pipeRoute(points: [ number, number, number ][], radius: number, options?: { bendRadius?: number; wall?: number; segments?: number; }): Shape` — Route a pipe (solid or hollow) through 3D waypoints with smooth bends. This is a convenience recipe over `Curve.Route.fromPolyline()` and [`sweep()`](/docs/curves#sweep). Use `Curve.Route` directly when you need route metadata, named ports, or custom swept profiles.
-- `elbow(pipeRadius: number, bendRadius: number, angle?: number | { ... }, options?: { ... }): Shape` — Pipe elbow — a curved pipe section for connecting two pipe directions. This is a convenience recipe over `Curve.Arc()` and [`sweep()`](/docs/curves#sweep). Use `Curve.Route.fromPolyline()` directly when you need named route ports, segment metadata, or multi-bend pipe runs.
-- `beltDrive(options: BeltDriveOptions): BeltDriveResult` — Create a flat open-belt body around two pulley pitch circles. The belt is generated as a tangent loop in the XY plane and extruded along +Z by `beltWidth`. The result includes the solid belt, the 2D belt profile, a thin pitch-path sketch for visualization, total belt length, tangent spans, and wrap metadata for each pulley. For more than two pulleys, the API intentionally asks for route intent before geometry is created. Use `route: "outer"` for the future outside-envelope mode, or an ordered route for future serpentine/idler layouts. ```ts const drive = lib.beltDrive({ pulleys: [ { name: "motor", center: [0, 0], pitchRadius: 12 }, { name: "output", center: [80, 0], pitchRadius: 28 }, ], beltWidth: 8, beltThickness: 2, }); return drive.belt; ```
-- `tangentLoop2d(circles: TangentCircle2D[], options?: TangentLoop2DOptions): TangentLoop2D` — Build a closed 2D route made from common tangent spans and pulley wrap arcs. Use this when you need reusable belt/chain route geometry before creating a solid body. The first implementation supports two circles. `mode: "open"` uses external tangents; `mode: "crossed"` uses internal tangents. ```ts const route = lib.tangentLoop2d([ { center: [0, 0], radius: 12 }, { center: [80, 0], radius: 28 }, ]); const belt = route.offsetBand(2).extrude(8); ```
-- `tSlotProfile(options?: TSlotProfileOptions): Sketch` — Build a 2D T-slot cross-section sketch. Default parameters describe a 20x20 B-type profile with slot 6. Use this when you want a drawing-ready profile sketch before extrusion.

Specify pitchAngleDeg directly or derive it from mateTeeth + shaftAngleDeg. **Connectors (for assembly-based positioning):** - `bore`: revolute connector at the large-end bore center (Z=0), axis along -Z (away from teeth). - `apex`: connector at the cone apex above the gear (the point where the pitch cone converges), axis along +Z. Useful for meshing two bevel gears — their apices should coincide. Carries measurements: `{ module, teeth, pitchRadius, pitchAngleDeg, coneDistance, faceWidth }`.
-- `faceGear(options: FaceGearOptions): Shape` — Face gear (crown style) where teeth are on one face (top or bottom) instead of the outer rim. Uses the same involute tooth sizing as spurGear, then projects the tooth band axially from one side. Alias for sideGear (which is kept for backward compatibility).
-- `sideGear(options: SideGearOptions): Shape` — Crown/face style gear where the teeth project from one side of the disk instead of the outer cylindrical rim.
-- `ringGear(options: RingGearOptions): Shape` — Internal ring gear with involute-derived tooth spaces. Specify rimWidth or outerDiameter for the annular body. **Connectors (for assembly-based positioning):** - `bore`: connector at the ring center, axis along +Z.

-- `rackGear(options: RackGearOptions): Shape` — Linear rack gear with pressure-angle flanks. Use with spurGear for rack-and-pinion mechanisms. **Orientation:** teeth run along the X axis with tooth tips pointing +Y (pitch line at Y=0). The rack is extruded +Z by `faceWidth`.

+
+  Uses the same involute tooth sizing as spurGear, then projects the tooth band axially from the chosen side (`side`, default `'top'`) with axial tooth height `toothHeight` (default: one module). To mesh it with a perpendicular spur pinion, prefer `lib.faceGearPair()` — it rotates and positions the pinion at the face tooth band for you.
