+# Physical Environment
+
+Our project is a physical environment to train LLMs to generate STL files, the same files used in physical CAD designs.
+
+## Setup
+
+```sh
+$ pip install pyrender trimesh pyglet matplotlib torch transformers pydantic vllm numpy requests tenacity wandb
+```
+
+Shared libraries for Ubuntu GL rendering.
+```sh
+$ sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libnvidia-gl-570-server
