Features

From a photo, a sentence, or a sketch to a machined part — one browser tab, powered by AI.

AI Chat & Iterative Build Loop

Describe your part in plain English — or hand the AI photos, drawings, and measurements — and it generates fully parametric CAD, renders it in seconds, and keeps iterating with you until it's right.

  • Natural language to fully parametric CAD, with voice input
  • Upload photos, drawings, and measurements as design input
  • Dimension-driven refinement — the AI measures its own model and corrects any deviation
  • Part-aware spec card — for named parts the AI fills in known dimensions and asks only what matters
  • Spec-sheet confirmation before it builds, so you approve the numbers first
  • Dimension extraction straight from technical drawings and hand sketches
  • Part research with real-world facts pulled from the web
  • Reverse-engineer an existing part from photos plus caliper measurements
  • In-app Help Center and guided tours when you want a walkthrough

Photo Draft — Photos to Spec Sheet to Solid

Photograph a real part, draw one known-length calibration line, confirm the AI's proposed dimensions — and walk away with an engineering drawing and a parametric solid.

  • Guided wizard in the Drawing workspace: photos → calibrate → dimensions → build
  • Draw a known-length line on the photo to lock true scale
  • AI proposes dimension lines on the photo — edit or confirm each one
  • Confirmed dimensions become locked spec targets the build must hit
  • AI-estimated values are flagged EST until you approve them
  • Works on your phone too — photograph the part right at the bench

Reverse Engineer — Scan or Mesh to Solid

Drop in an STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, or glTF mesh and get real CAD back. Choose a clean parametric rebuild, or an exact mirror that follows the scan skin and reports the deviation it actually measured.

  • Mesh files route straight into the Reverse Engineer workspace — no separate importer
  • Auto-Convert recognizes prisms, revolves, drafted shapes, and hole patterns
  • Parametric-only mode returns a real sketch-and-feature tree you can edit
  • Exact mirror mode matches the scan skin within ±0.0005″, multi-body and boolean-editable
  • Every conversion reports its measured max deviation — certified or flagged, never guessed
  • Guided rebuild walks you through it step by step, or let the AI drive
  • Hand the result to Model and keep building on it like any other solid

Sketch & Constraint Solver

A full constraint-based 2D sketcher with automatic constraint detection, a robust geometric solver, and precision dimensioning.

  • Lines, arcs, circles, ellipses, splines, conics
  • Geometric constraints: coincident, tangent, parallel, perpendicular, equal, symmetric
  • Type-to-dimension while you sketch — with an inline calculator (25/2+3 just works)
  • Auto-constraint inference — snaps become real constraints, with on-canvas badges
  • Drag-to-size primitives and per-tool hints that guide you end to end
  • Sketch on any planar face or reference plane

3D Modeling Operations

Industry-standard modeling operations with real-time preview and parametric history.

  • Extrude, revolve, sweep, loft — sweep follows a real sketched path
  • Fillet, chamfer, shell, draft
  • Thread tool and Hole Wizard with standard sizes
  • Boolean: union, subtract, intersect
  • Linear and circular patterns
  • Push/pull direct editing with live volume preview
  • Crisp B-Rep edge display you can toggle off, plus shaded, realistic, wireframe, and X-ray modes
  • Full parametric feature timeline with drag-to-reorder

Direct Editing & Defeaturing

Grab a face and move it. No sketch, no history surgery — pick the face, drag the arrow, watch the live readout, and accept when the number is right. Every edit still lands in the timeline as a real feature.

  • Move Face — offset any face along its normal, flat or curved, and the body heals
  • Split Face — imprint a plane onto a face without splitting the body
  • Delete Face — pull off a fillet, boss, or hole and close the gap behind it
  • Push/pull with a ✓ / ✕ accept step, so nothing commits until you say so
  • Live wall-thickness readout warns you before a cut breaks through
  • Multi-face selection — move a whole set at once
  • Edits become named timeline features you can re-open and re-dimension

Surfacing & Repair

For the shapes solids alone can't reach — and for the imported geometry that arrives broken. Fill open boundaries with real tangent continuity, then knit the shell back into a watertight solid.

  • Patch an open boundary with G0 position or G1 tangent continuity
  • Knit — sew loose surfaces into a closed, watertight solid
  • Offset Surface to thicken or shell a selected face set
  • Ruled surfaces to bridge two edge chains
  • Emboss on Surface and Wrap Text for curved-face artwork
  • Repair imported models that came in as open shells instead of solids

Parameters & Configurations

Name the numbers that matter, drive the rest with formulas, then save whole sets of values as configurations you can switch between — one model, every size you make.

  • Named global parameters usable in any dimension
  • Formula-driven values — edge_margin = plate_w / 8 just works
  • Parameters in use are protected from accidental deletion
  • Save the current values as a named configuration
  • Switch configurations to rebuild the part at a different size or trim level
  • Re-capture or delete a configuration as the design moves on
  • Configurations travel with the project file

  • Insert from Library — drop in any part you've already saved as a component
  • Update from source when the original part changes, with mates re-solved for you
  • Stale components are flagged, so you always know what's out of date
  • Joints with kinematic animation — watch the mechanism move
  • Export assembly motion as a shareable GIF
  • Interference and collision detection
  • Bill of materials generation
