Adam launches AI-powered CAD as open source – generates 3D models from text
Startup Adam (YC W25) has launched CADAM, an open source platform that uses AI agents to generate mechanical 3D models from natural language commands. The system writes OpenSCAD code, allows parametric adjustments via interactive sliders, and can export in multiple 3D formats – all runnable directly in the browser via WebAssembly.
WHY IT MATTERS
This represents a paradigm shift for the CAD industry by making mechanical design accessible to non-specialists and demonstrates that AI can now handle complex technical design tasks that traditionally require expert knowledge. The open source approach could accelerate adoption of AI in industrial design and product development.
