Show HN: CAD with AI
- zhaoyli8 2y agois there a demo? what can you make with this?
- tdeck 2y agoThis is really interesting! I'm quite curious about the technology behind it and how it renders the models (is it a wrapper around OpenSCAD? Something else?). Also really cool that this is parametric although the parameter names aren't always meaningful (in the mug example they are seemingly nonsense, but when I asked for "A headphone hanger that works without screws on a desk with a thickness of 15mm" it actually had 3 fully meaningful parameter names.
- paletov 2y agoThanks for the interest! Yeah, it does use OpenSCAD under the hood. The parameter names are something I'm still tweaking—glad to hear they worked well in the headphone hanger example!
- maalber 2y agoThis is a really cool idea! I am also interested in a bit more info about the technology and methods behind. Is it using off the shelf LLMs and system prompts to generate code based on the request? Or is it a specifically trained model for CAD?
- paletov 2y agoThanks! It’s a mix of some off-the-shelf models with custom training for CAD tasks.
- crackalamoo 2y agoNice job! Were you able to use something like the OpenAI API for custom training or did you end up going for an in-house solution?
- paletov 2y agoPlease note that this is currently optimized for parametric modeling of functional components, not organic shapes.
