    Research
    Motivation:

    What if you could design physical objects simply by describing what you wanted?

    "Text-to-CAD produces precise, engineering-grade B-Rep geometry. Users receive a real, editable model ready for the next step in the development process — whether that's tweaking dimensions, running simulations, or sending it directly to manufacturing."

    Turning thoughts into complex mechanical designs

    Text-to-CAD is built into Zoo Design Studio, enabling users to generate precise B-rep CAD models from simple text prompts. Whether you're creating parts from scratch or editing existing designs, Text-to-CAD uses ML tuned for real-world manufacturing like CNC milling and 3D printing.
