Describe your design requirements in plain text\u2014dimensions, features, materials, constraints\u2014and cad generates a working model you can inspect, measure, and refine without opening traditional CAD software.","q":"Can cad create a parametric CAD part from description?"},{"a":"cad exports multiple formats to suit your workflow. Generate STEP/STP files for parametric geometry validation and measurement, STL for 3D printing, 3MF for advanced printing workflows, and GLB for web viewing and collaboration. Each export preserves your model's precision and feature structure.","q":"What file formats does cad export?"},{"a":"cad validates STEP geometry by inspecting features, measuring holes, counterbores, and other mechanical details, and checking assembly mating and alignment. Use selector references to identify and inspect specific parts within your model, ensuring dimensions and constraints match your specifications before manufacturing.","q":"How does cad handle geometry inspection and measurement?"},{"a":"Yes. cad specializes in mechanical design, creating features such as holes, counterbores, standoffs, mounting points, and assembly joints from your written specs. It builds complete fixtures and enclosures with proper mating constraints, letting you iterate rapidly without manual CAD modeling.","q":"Can cad design mechanical features like holes and joints?"},{"a":"Describe the changes you want in natural language\u2014adjust dimensions, add features, remove geometry, or refine constraints. cad reads your existing model and applies modifications parametrically, preserving relationships and enabling quick design exploration and validation.","q":"How do I modify an existing CAD part with cad?"},{"a":"Absolutely. cad accelerates design iteration by turning specifications into working models instantly, eliminating the learning curve of traditional CAD interfaces. Snapshot your designs for review, export to multiple formats, and refine based on feedback\u2014all through natural language commands.","q":"Is cad suitable for rapid prototyping workflows?"}],"shadow_tags":["parametric-design","step-export","mechanical-assembly","geometry-validation","build123d-framework","cad-inspection","feature-modeling","mesh-conversion","design-automation","part-positioning"],"summary_rewrite":"Turn written specifications into working CAD models instantly.
