Gemini 3.1 whilst not the best agentic coding model, has extremely strong vision (which makes it reason spatially very well). Fable 5 was top for a brief moment, whilst it was around!

yup!

Could I see what you tried to generate?

To be completely honest CADAM is not at all a revenue driver for us. The majority of our customers are on our flagship app: https://adam.new/ which uses OpenCascade and allows you to connect to your CAD, PLM & PDM tools

Thank you for giving it a shot!

CADAM is pretty good at building Gridfinity

Most of our users on CADAM are makers/tinkerers. Their #1 usecase is to generate a printable stl file for which openSCAD is ideal (LLMs are very good at generating it) For professional workflows you can use https://adam.new&

You can use https://adam.new/ if you want to connect to your CAD applications or generate real breps

tackling all that in: https://adam.new/ don't you worry ;)

This is so the .scad file stays the canonical state. With -D, the rendered geometry diverges from what the file says.

I agree openSCAD isn't anywhere near powerful enough for professional workflows. Hence why I framed this as AI TinkerCAD. However, you can drive any professional CAD software though code. As we drive Autodesk Fusion via python through

The same principles of an agent writing cad as code and then visualing inspecting the output in a loop runs through all our products. Whilst CADAM uses OpenSCAD, Fusion uses Python, Onshape use FeatureScript etc.. The majority of our enterp

Honestly I would've liked to MIT. It's mainly that the openscad wasm we use is GPL

by zachdive 3mo ago
Yes it can! You can even use mesh mode which is very strong for this!

by zachdive 3mo ago
I strongly believe that by scaling up LLMs we will get there. I write about this here in more detail: https://adam.new/blog/bitter-lesson-ai-cad

by zachdive 3mo ago
yes i agree, this would probably fix it

by zachdive 3mo ago
curious how this compares to on baseline: https://adam.new/ let me know!

by zachdive 3mo ago
Yes I intentionally called this AI TinkerCAD

I largely agree with you. It's case by case and the ideal ux imho is to have both.

by zachdive 3mo ago
generally professionals our flagship app at https://adam.new/ hobbyists and makers use CADAM

Fable is considerably better from my experience: https://x.com/LLMJunky/status/2065229625702109340?s=20 Fingers crossed it comes back!

you can upload an image or a sketch! we actually have drawing suppor in our extensions, but we've found our users use it far less than we expected!

by zachdive 3mo ago
Thanks!!

I write about this in detail here: https://adam.new/blog/bitter-lesson-ai-cad This is improving greatly in recent model releases

by zachdive 3mo ago
That's more of an example to address the point. We've find our users often use this feature in our onshape/fusion extensions in complex assemblies. Being able to select faces and edges as context in addition to prompts can be

Yes and we have a number of mechanical engineers using our extensions! AI in CAD is defo a WIP but when you trace the progress it's not too hard to envisage what the future will look like. For the Fusion demo we intentionally didn&#x27

We could defo update our readme! What do you think of this?: https://x.com/aaronli/status/2064876123109089742?s=20 Fable 5 in our Fusion Extension.
