TechDraw AI

Turn any photo or sketch into a technical drawing

What it does

TechDraw AI turns a photo, sketch or prompt into a clean, dimensioned, standards-compliant technical drawing in seconds — no CAD skills needed. Unlike general image generators, every dimension is tied to the real measurements you set, not guessed from pixels. You get proper orthographic views, ISO/ANSI/DIN title blocks and GD&T symbols, plus an auto-generated BOM. Export to DXF, DWG, SVG or PDF, ready for AutoCAD, Fusion, SolidWorks and CNC/laser machines.

Convert an image, photo or JPG to CAD with AI, free. Get a dimensioned technical drawing and export DXF, DWG, SVG or PDF for AutoCAD, SolidWorks and CNC.

Drop in a photo, sketch or image (JPG, PNG, HEIC) of the object you want a CAD drawing of. Pick the drawing type and units, then set the real scale and lengths of your object so every dimension comes out accurate. Receive a clean, dimensioned, standards-compliant technical drawing that is ready to export. One converter, six rulebooks. Pick the work you do and the sheet comes out the way that trade expects it: the views, the callouts and the file the next machine needs. Shop drawings with joinery detail, real sizes and a cut list. Views, tolerances and a DXF your machine shop can quote from. Wall thickness, clearances and fits, checked before you print. Most tools that convert a picture to a…from techdrawai.com

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
