zachdive··on Launch HN: Adam (YC W25) – Open-Source AI CAD
Oh thanks! What's CADEM?

We're intent on building a dedicated editor, that way we can build a lot of nice UI! We'd also like to build public mcps for some of the popular cad tools

It's currently in the plugins and we're working on bringing it to CADAM. Basically you'll be able to use the GUI, and give face/edge selection context to your prompt "extrude a hole through this face". It's directly tied to us adding brep support.
zachdive··on Launch HN: Adam (YC W25) – Open-Source AI CAD
Yes good idea! We've added a few in the read me if you'd like to take a look

cool! will check it out!

That's what we thought of coding agents just a year ago

They're defo getting better at spatial reasoning

I'm pretty sure they took that from us. We had the first conversational ux in the space.
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
Big fan of this
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
yep! the agents are durable and agent runs self-healing
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
There's a lot of alpha to be had in experimenting with LLMS and writing OCCT kernel cad code imo
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
Not in our immediate plans! Focusing on mechanical CAD software
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
Yup!
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
Ahhhhh mr browser use gotcha
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
In transparent in what sense?
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
Lol which neighbour? That's so random
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
how come?
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
Completely agree and we're exploring a number of modalities. You can actually select edges, faces and specific features to give that context to the model.

It is quite impressive putting in a raw prompt and watching the model just one-shot it though: https://x.com/adamdotnew/status/2050264512230719980?s=20

Here you can see how code drives the modeling

We have a little experimental tldraw style canvas integrated in the extension we've been playing with!

I highly encourage you to try our opensource version: https://adam.new/cadam
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
Which is your CAD? We also have an opensource version that we actively maintain: https://github.com/Adam-CAD/CADAM
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
It's usage based (tokens). Subscriptions give you access to token amounts/month

We are using a CAD as code approach! Like I said in the post we heavily leverage FeatureScript to drive Onshape and Python to drive Fusion
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
https://x.com/zachdive/status/2050264975781060897?s=20

We abstract pretty much everything down to two simple primitives: CAD as code + visual feedback

zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
yes!
zachdive··on Show HN: AI CAD Harness
Whilst I disagree with you (reasons mentioned in the post above), we actually have done quite a bit of work with OpenSCAD!!

See our opensource text to cad editor: https://github.com/Adam-CAD/CADAM

We can build this!
