{"id":87143,"title":"Adam - AI Co-Pilot for CAD ⚙️⚙","tagline":"Adam helps engineers 10x their CAD workflows with simple AI prompts","body":"Hey YC! 👋\\\n\\\nWe're [Aaron](https://x.com/aaronhetengli), [Avi](https://x.com/avimakesrobots) and [Zach](https://x.com/zachdive) from Adam and we are building AI Powered CAD for mechanical design. Our first launch is our Text to CAD editor. Some of our early users have called it the **Vercel V0 for CAD**. You simply put a prompt in on our web-app and we generate a parametric CAD file for you. Check out our fun promo vid 👇.\\\n\\\nhttps://youtu.be/Pw6KGqgygqw\n\n**TL;DR:**\n\n* 🔧 Use our **Text-to-CAD** model to accelerate your mechanical design workflows\n* 🪛 Adjust the **Parametric CAD** with our dynamically generated sliders\n* 🛠 Export and **ready to 3D print in seconds**\n\n### **Problem**\n\n**Slow**\\\nLegacy CAD software is weighed down by antiquated UX and outdated geometry rendering from the early 90s.\n\n**Repetitive** \\\nMechanical engineers and design professionals spend hours everyday restarting projects due to rigid workflows. The current tools are clunky and slow to iterate in meaning the iteration process is greatly slowed down.\n\n**Demands significant expertise**\\\nThe complexity of CAD tools hinders rapid prototyping and wider adoption.\n\n### \n\n### **Solution**\n\nDesign professionals spend hours every week converting ideas into CAD design and its complexity often creates barriers for both professionals and newcomers. The Adam web-app provides a frictionless experience to start rapidly prototyping and shipping out great ideas.\n\n**We support two different modes of interaction**\n\n_1. Conversational design through chat_\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=87143\u0026key=user_uploads/1626462/6c4b0839-2b67-4e55-b857-ae6e11f20703)\n\n_2. Parametric edits through sliders_\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=87143\u0026key=user_uploads/1626462/e97bde5c-d49a-4be9-b1b0-4e0fc329a5fa)\n\n### **One more thing..**\n\nWe are building an Adam Co-Pilot that integrates seamlessly within professional-grade CAD workflows. Think of this as the **Cursor for CAD.** It takes in the context of your CAD environment and is able to make directed edits for you. Check out an early prototype (more on this to come…)!\\\n\\\nhttps://www.loom.com/share/7c945465a21e4fb7abfd557299be4925\n\n### **We are on a mission to remove the friction between engineering and reality so more great ideas come into existence.**\n\n👉 If you resonate, please reach out to us here: [founders@adamcad.com](mailto:founders@adamcad.com)\n\n\u0026lt;3\\\nCheck out our website: [www.adamcad.com](https://www.adamcad.com/)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=87143\u0026key=user_uploads/1626462/d50e9f22-e38f-4a6d-b0b7-eea7dedcba0a)\n\n","slug":"MfX-adam-ai-co-pilot-for-cad","created_at":"2025-01-24T18:32:15.271Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T05:02:23.190Z","total_vote_count":211,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/MfX-adam-ai-co-pilot-for-cad","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=87143\u0026key=user_uploads/1626462/d50e9f22-e38f-4a6d-b0b7-eea7dedcba0a","company":{"id":30234,"name":"Adam","slug":"adam","url":"https://adam.new/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/cfc860ae54b7e3a7f3fdaf19550aa06087041ede.png","batch":"Winter 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":["Hardware","Design","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30234"}}
