CADZERO
Turn text into manufacturable CAD inside Fusion 360
What it does
CADZERO, built by Nation Developers AI Lab, is an AI copilot that turns natural language into manufacturable CAD inside Autodesk Fusion 360. Describe a part—“Aluminum bracket with 4 M6 holes and 8 mm wall thickness”—and CADZERO generates it, checks manufacturability, and exports ready-to-machine files. It’s precision automation for engineers who want to design at the speed of thought.

- HAHestus – AI Copilot for CAD2024 · hestus.co · ▲224
Hello! We’re Kevin and Sohrab from Hestus (https://www.hestus.co). We're working on an AI copilot for CAD. Today we're releasing a simple sketch helper for Fusion 360 and would love your feedback. Here’s a quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9n_eY-fM_E. Why we’re doing this: Mechanical engineers excel at generating initial design concepts but get bogged down translating ideas into final designs due to tedious, repetitive tasks. Our goal is to automate these mundane processes, allowing engineers to focus on the creative aspects of design. Having worked at…

Hey HN! We’re Will and Jorge, and we’ve built LAD (Language-Aided Design), a SolidWorks add-in that uses LLMs to create sketches, features, assemblies, and macros from conversational inputs (https://www.trylad.com/). We come from software engineering backgrounds where tools like Claude Code and Cursor have come to dominate, but when poking around CAD systems a few months back we realized there's no way to go from a text prompt input to a modeling output in any of the major CAD systems. In our testing, the LLMs aren't as good at making 3D objects as they are are writing code,…
