Roadmap
Shipped
13Shipped: 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.
Shipped: Export makes it easy to send models and data to common CAD, manufacturing, and collaboration formats.
Shipped: Import lets you bring in external CAD models and data while preserving geometry, structure, and metadata.
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.
Shipped: Text To CAD uses AI to turn natural language prompts into editable, parametric CAD models.
Shipped: Sketching offers constraint-based 2D drawing tools that define the parametric backbone of 3D geometry.
Shipped: Solid Modeling provides core tools for creating, editing, and combining precise 3D solids for mechanical parts.
Shipped: Assemblies organize parts into structured systems with mates and motion to reflect real-world relationships.
Shipped: Zookeeper is a conversational AI assistant that helps you create, modify, and understand CAD models using natural language.
Shipped: Image To CAD uses AI to convert reference images into editable 3D geometry.
Shipped: Community forum for sharing the 3d models
Shipped: GD&T Annotations (MBD) captures manufacturing-critical tolerances directly on 3D models as model-based definition.
Shipped: Cloud Storage keeps designs securely stored, synced, and accessible from anywhere.
In Progress
2In Progress: Convert STEP BREP files into editable parametric models in KCL
In Progress: CAM generates toolpaths and machining instructions directly from 3D models for manufacturing.
Upcoming
9Upcoming: A cutaway representation of a 3D model or assembly that reveals internal features and hidden structures
Upcoming: Surface Modeling provides advanced tools for creating smooth, freeform, and visually refined product surfaces.
Upcoming: GD&T Annotations in drawings adds standardized symbols and callouts to clearly communicate tolerances on 2D prints.
Upcoming: Version Control tracks design history so teams can branch, review, and safely roll back changes.
Upcoming: Drawings generate detailed 2D documentation and manufacturing views from 3D parts and assemblies.
Upcoming: Show reviewable visual and code diffs for AI-generated model changes.
Upcoming: Creating 3D CAD parts that are manufactured by bending, cutting, and stamping flat metal sheets
Upcoming: Make AI-generated CAD workflows easier to create, inspect, refine, and compare.
Upcoming: Geometric Analysis Tools inspect geometry, measure critical dimensions, and validate designs before manufacturing.
Improvements
Shipped
7Shipped: This improvement will bring the web app closer to desktop by supporting multiple files in a single workspace.
Shipped: Precise sketch control with robust geometric constraints and editable dimensions.
Shipped: Open a new app window so current work stays running while you start a fresh session.
Shipped: Draw directly on geometry in the viewport and send your doodles to Zookeeper
Shipped: Add a 3D mirror feature to create symmetric copies of bodies across a plane or axis.
Shipped: Add model-based notes that live on the world plane without referencing a face.
Shipped: Keep large assemblies responsive during loading, editing, and review.
In Progress
7In Progress: Improves Zookeeper’s reasoning so it can generate higher‑quality outputs and handle more complex designs.
In Progress: Generate clearer GD&T annotations with stronger standards awareness.
In Progress: Robust fillets that handle self‑intersections and tangent edge chains, not just simple straight runs.
In Progress: Support selecting edge‑case geometry, including previously unselectable boolean, shell, chamfer, and fillet results.
In Progress: Save a camera view
In Progress: Build, constrain, and manage multi-part designs with reliable assembly workflows.
In Progress: Intuitive mates to position, constrain, and move parts in realistic assemblies.
Upcoming
12Upcoming: Export model-based definition data through STEP AP242 workflows.
Upcoming: Work across multiple parts or projects in parallel streams with separate visible contexts.
Upcoming: Run parallel AI review loops and compare multiple generated part versions in snapshot grids.
Upcoming: Make selections and UI state robust, so the app always reflects the true active context.
Upcoming: Make model execution feel immediate when opening and editing larger assemblies.
Upcoming: Close missing modeling feature gaps required for reliable proprietary CAD conversion.
Upcoming: Incremental rebuild with caching so only affected features re‑execute on each edit.
Upcoming: Deliver robust solid modeling operations for reliable parametric design.
Upcoming: Fillet surface edges
Upcoming: Manage multiple AI conversations while preserving context for each workflow.
Upcoming: Create solid thickness from surfaces for manufacturable 3D geometry.
Upcoming: Model manufacturable sheet metal parts with bending, unfolding, and thickness controls.
