Whisker

Create and edit CAD models into production-ready prototypes

Whisker launched on March 12, 2026 with 94 votes, #497 of 23,380 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.

What it does

Whisker turns plain-English descriptions into production-ready parametric CAD models. A multi-agent AI pipeline generates real B-Rep geometry, verifies it using a proprietery algorithm, and iteratively fixes issues - all in under 1 minute. Every dimension is a tunable parameter. Export one-click to STEP, STL, or natively into Fusion 360 with full feature trees and linked user parameters. Real parametric CAD. Free to start.

Generate production-ready parametric CAD models from natural language. Export to STEP, STL, and Fusion 360 with full feature trees. Free to start.

Describe what you need in natural language. Whisker’s AI understands mechanical constraints, material properties, and parametric relationships. A multi-agent system generates your design, executes it in a sandbox, verifies geometry with vision AI, and iteratively refines until it’s right. Full parametric control over every dimension. One-click export to Fusion 360 with full feature tree, user parameters, and construction geometry. Production-ready. Traditional CAD takes hours of manual feature construction. Whisker generates production-grade parametric models from natural language — with full Fusion 360 interop. Every model below was generated by Whisker. Rotate to inspect.

  • Forge – Guardrails take an 8B model from 53% to 99% on agentic tasksMay 2026 · github.com · ▲687

    Hi HN, I'm Antoine Zambelli, AI Director at Texas Instruments. I built Forge, an open-source reliability layer for self-hosted LLM tool-calling. What it does: - Adds domain-and-tool-agnostic guardrails (retry nudges, step enforcement, error recovery, VRAM-aware context management) to local models running on consumer hardware - Takes an 8B model from ~53% to ~99% on multi-step agentic workflows without changing the model - just the system around it - Ships with an eval harness and interactive dashboard so you can reproduce every number I wanted to run a handful of always-on agentic systems…

    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…

  • AI CAD HarnessMay 2026 · fusion.adam.new · ▲101

    Hi HN, I'm Zach, one of the co-founders of Adam (https://adam.new). We've been on HN twice before with text-to-CAD/3D experiments [1][2]. The honest takeaway from those threads: prompt-to-3D model web apps are fun, but serious mechanical engineers don't want a black box that spits out an STL. They want help inside the CAD tool they already use, with full visibility and control over the feature tree. So we built that. Adam is now a harness that integrates directly with your CAD. It reads your parts, understands the existing feature tree, and edits it for you agentically. We are…
