What it does
Drawing Agent turns industrial 2D drawings into millimetre-accurate, editable 3D CAD — not "looks-like-the-thing" meshes. It writes CadQuery code, renders the 3D from multiple angles, has an AI evaluator compare every view to your drawing, and rewrites the code until the dimensions converge. The output is a B-Rep solid (STEP / STL / GLB) that opens in SolidWorks, Fusion, or Inventor with every edge sized to spec, plus the Python source for audit.
Upload a 2D engineering drawing image, PDF, or DXF/DWG file and an AI agent will generate a 3D CAD model for you.
Drawing Agent turns legacy mechanical drawings and paper/PDF 2D drawings back into 3D CAD. It accepts images, PDFs, and DXF/DWG files, builds typed CAD, renders multiple views, compares them against the source, and revises parameters and operations until quality converges. The default CadQuery engine exports STEP for SolidWorks; trimesh provides fast STL / GLB previews. Most 2D-to-3D AIs generate once and let you correct the result. Drawing Agent runs a self-evaluation loop — the AI checks its own output against your drawing and re-writes until it converges. That single architectural choice is why our output meets the drawing instead of approximating it. Claude Opus parses dimensions,…from drawing-agent.com

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,…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
