What it does
TextoCAD is a free AI text-to-CAD generator that runs entirely in your browser. Describe a part in plain English "a 50mm bracket with four M5 holes" and get a fully editable parametric CAD model in seconds, complete with sliders and a feature tree. Adjust dimensions live, refine with the AI assistant, then export production-ready STEP and STL files for 3D printing or manufacturing. No installs, no CAD experience required. Free to use.
TextoCAD is a free AI text to CAD generator (2 free generations). Describe a part in plain English and get an editable parametric CAD model in your browser, then export STEP and STL files.
Describe a part and get an editable parametric CAD package back: dimension sliders, a feature tree, and browser-side editing. Refine it, then export STEP or STL. Your first 2 generations are free after you sign in, and slider edits and exports never cost one. Use TextoCAD for fast AI-assisted modeling, or request professional support for mechanical design, CAE/simulation preparation, product design, and export-ready CAD files. Mechanical parts, assemblies, brackets, housings, fixtures, and design refinement. Geometry preparation, basic FEA/CAE support, thermal or structural simulation readiness. Concept development, manufacturability review, functional modeling, and design improvement.…from textocad.com

Open-sourcing our text-to-CAD app2025 · github.com · ▲179Hey 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…
ChatToSTL – AI text-to-CAD for 3D printing2025 · huggingface.co · ▲52Hey 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…

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, 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!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
