Adam launched Adam Workspace to coordinate AI agents across a team’s CAD, CAE and PLM tools: the software used for design, engineering simulation and product data.
AI-powered CAD agent — design mechanical parts with natural language prompts instead of manual clicks.
About Adam
Adam is an AI agent for mechanical design that lets you accomplish CAD tasks through natural language prompts instead of manual clicking and navigation. It integrates with Onshape to edit parts, optimize feature trees, convert static models to parametric designs, and execute complex workflows with a single prompt. Adam also integrates directly with Rhino.
Called 'the v0 of CAD' by Guillermo Rauch. Backed by Y Combinator.
Pricing model: Freemium
Features
- Natural language CAD commands
