Hey, we're building this tool to enable AI CAD model generation and Git-like source control. Happy to answer any questions! Waitlist on our website.

I find making bodies is 'easy'.

What trips me up is aligning bodies, and joints.

Is this something covered well by your tool?

I'm considering signing up for the wait list. How long do you expect it to take for someone to clear the wait list?

Thanks for your interest! For now, our generative features are focused on parts. However, the chat feature should be able to guide you through alignment textually. This has worked quite well in our tests with frontier reasoning models e.g. o1.

We’ve prioritized parts to ensure interoperability with SolidWorks, since assemblies are constructed quite differently there. Our goal in the development phase is to provide a uniform experience across CAD softwares.

Given current demand, you can expect to clear the waitlist within 4 weeks.
