zCAD AI
zCAD AI is an AI CAD generator that turns text prompts and reference images into structured parametric models and assemblies.
zCAD AI is an AI-powered tool designed to generate structured parametric models and assemblies from text descriptions and reference images. Users can specify functions, dimensions, interfaces, and protected geometry to create CAD starting points. The system generates B-rep CAD geometry, supporting parts, assemblies, and assembly mates. Generated models can be inspected for dimensions, mating faces, and clearances, and then exported in formats including STEP, or opened natively in zCAD Online for further editing. The platform offers multiple tiers ranging from a free non-commercial plan to paid subscriptions providing private models, commercial use rights, and priority generation queues.
