you don't need Solidworks. i'll be opensourcing free web based full featured CAD software soon. - built natively to support agents - headless CAD - no need to use UI, just make agent calls - 100% free

dm if you want to test it out

Already made one, fully open source:

Proud of you for trying to tackle the biggest bottleneck the world is facing right now

all thanks to @thsottiaux and his boy 5.6 Sol Ultra

This is very cool

Very interesting. I look forward to trying it out. When will you launch it?

Here is a concern of mine- we have Solidworks, it’s not great and has least amount of automation. But 10 years from now I can still pull up my archive files and if needed reuse or modify my sldprt files because I have Solidworks on my computer. This is something that one isn’t sure with new CAD software that is web based, if that company is not around in 10yrs all my product development is basically useless. Sure STEP files exist and can be downloaded but it doesn’t have parametric data. How do you tackle this?

this is soo cool, but how is it better than

if i am not wrong that's an agent - not CAD itself for eg stuff i posted will work with that agent too (perhaps better) this is a cad software that work with an agent - any agent

this is so cool. had it as a thesis. i’ve tested out others in the market which claim to do this, but so bad. can it start from sketches/pics and text or voice input and also modify them holding context? hopefully there are manual knobs for accuracy.

yes, will release skills for this. and yes it can sketch. there are few limitations on threejs/wasm + a hardcore commercial limitation on solidworks SDK but otherwise its a solved problem.

beautiful. i meant, start modeling from a hand drawn sketch as a reference.

The transition from GUI-first design to Agent-first API calls is going to disrupt hardware forever. ​RIP subscription license fees. Excited to see this launch.

did you build a kernel from scratch?

months of work, millions of tokens lol free agent run cad is non trivial but solvable imo

会是 AI 友好的嘛？期待住了！

是的，而且会直接使用你输入的语言

哇！那也太酷了！期待 感恩🫡

@andrewdsouza this is wild, sphinx is open-sourcing a free agent-native, headless CAD system that replaces the SolidWorks UI with agent calls

@VishakhRanotra

@munshianiket1 see this

Woah this is super cool @protosphinx

@earthtojake is waiting 😄

yes pleaaaase death to expensive CAD software

This will be great!

already does this

world is a better place now

Just worried resource cost vs agent token cost tradeoff, for example for 8 hours how much work agent does versus how much work resource can do that cost comparison would be great

skill issue

Well for agentic skill what can be done to train them..maybe...

Bro add this to the showcase 👀🔥

As someone with no experience of CAD, but getting heavily into 3D printing, tools like this will be a force multiplier. Appreciate you putting the work in!

@yacineMTB bro

@threejs I experimented with to build a custom app to visualize STEP models. That was pre-LLMs/pre-agentic. Would be curious to check out your app. For serious CAD work BREP is still table stakes but @threejs is invaluable for visualization.

This is sick ! Definitely interested

culture of manufacturing is an unsolved problem...

not power. politics is to get power. culture doesn't change that way.

can power not incentivise culture?

politics follows culture. people who can’t build vote for their kind.

You did this solo? If so, nice work! Even with AI assist it takes time, effort and iterations to make something this nice.

भाई, would like to test it out and contribute to the momentum.

This is cool. Only saw single parts in the video. Is there sketch mode? Constraints? Assemblies? 2D drawing output?

How does this compare to Grok build driving FreeCAD via MPC?
