Hey HN! I'm Zach from Adam (https://adam.new/). We’re building an AI co-pilot for mechanical CAD software. As part of our broader research, we built a browser-based Text-to-CAD app (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44182206) and are now open sourcing it. This is a React SPA with a Supabase backend. What it does: * Generates parametric 3D models from natural language descriptions, with support for both text prompts and image references * Outputs OpenSCAD code with automatically extracted parameters that surface as interactive sliders for instant dimension…

Hey HN, I'm a beginner at CAD so I built an app that does it for me ;) Describe a part and ChatToSTL writes the OpenSCAD code, shows a live render with size sliders, then exports the STL/3MF file. Because the output is parametric, it's easy to modify (unlike mesh models like Shap-E or DreamFusion). Try it (needs your own OpenAI key): https://huggingface.co/spaces/flowfulai/ChatToSTL How it works: Text prompt → o4-mini generates OpenSCAD code → live render + sliders → refine in chat → export. Examples & Code: * Walkthrough + real prints (bowl, hook, box, door…

Hi HN! This is a little project to generate PCB footprints from text descriptions. It works by teaching an LLM a compressed DSL representation for footprints. I think this is generally a good technique if you're trying to get LLMs to work on spatial problems. Right now I'm focused on reproducing footprint shapes, but after that I'll benchmark the correctness of the footprints using % overlap on known package descriptions, as well as a kicad_mod export I built this because I realized I needed to use AI to help tscircuit catch up to the decades of electronic design tool progress that I'm not…
