Code Editor

Shipped
Code Editor is the pane where you write the code that defines the model and feature tree 1:1, with functions, parameters, and live updates that stay in sync with what you see on screen.

Export

Shipped
Export makes it easy to send models and data to common CAD, manufacturing, and collaboration formats.

Import

Shipped
Import lets you bring in external CAD models and data while preserving geometry, structure, and metadata.

Feature Tree

Shipped
A feature tree is a hierarchical, chronological record of every sketch, feature, and operation used to build a 3D model, such as extrusions, fillets, and holes. It enables parametric editing, allowing users to reorder, suppress, or modify design steps to update parts efficiently.

Text To CAD

Shipped
Text To CAD uses AI to turn natural language prompts into editable, parametric CAD models.

Sketching

Shipped
Sketching offers constraint-based 2D drawing tools that define the parametric backbone of 3D geometry.

Solid Modeling

Shipped
Solid Modeling provides core tools for creating, editing, and combining precise 3D solids for mechanical parts.

Assemblies

Shipped
Assemblies organize parts into structured systems with mates and motion to reflect real-world relationships.

Zookeeper

Shipped
Zookeeper is a conversational AI assistant that helps you create, modify, and understand CAD models using natural language.

Image To Cad

Shipped
Image To CAD uses AI to convert reference images into editable 3D geometry.

Aquarium

Shipped
Community forum for sharing the 3d models

GD&T Annotations (MBD)

Shipped
GD&T Annotations (MBD) captures manufacturing-critical tolerances directly on 3D models as model-based definition.

Zoodle

Shipped
Draw directly on geometry in the viewport and send your doodles to Zookeeper
