What CADbyAI can do
Tell Claude the job in plain words. It does the work in the CAD program open on your PC.
1. 3D models (SolidWorks, FreeCAD)
- Build parts from a description or a drawing: plates, blocks, shafts, flanges, holes, slots.
- Welded frames from tubes and box sections, and sheet-metal parts, with a cut list in the right sizes and lengths.
- Quick edits: change a dimension, add a hole, change the material, and the model updates at once.
- Put parts together into sub-assemblies and whole machines. Change one main size and the whole machine follows.
- Turn a drawing, photo or PDF into a model you can edit; STEP files of plates, brackets and shafts are rebuilt with real features.
2. 2D drawings (SolidWorks, FreeCAD, AutoCAD)
- Part drawings ready for the workshop: views, sections, dimensions, fits, surface roughness and title block, to ISO.
- Assembly drawings with a parts list and item numbers.
- Export to PDF, DXF and STEP, and flat-pattern DXF of sheet-metal parts for the laser cutter.
- A complete production package in one go: drawings, STEP, DXF, flat patterns and the parts list.
3. Save time
- Repetitive jobs, such as changing many dimensions or exporting a whole set of drawings to PDF, done in minutes.
- Ask about your model in plain words: sizes, mass, material, number of parts.
- Look up tolerances, keys and threads while you draw.
- Size ranges in one request: five sizes give five sets of parts, STEP files and drawings.
- Rough cost of a part with your own material prices and shop rates.
- Learns your company's drawing style and the rules you give it, and uses them every time.
4. Peace of mind
- Your files stay on your PC and are not uploaded anywhere.
- Every change can be undone.
- It uses the Claude you already have: no new software to learn.
- Free 30-day trial.
