Overview

Experienced founders (Markforged vets); large AI 3D dataset; strong VC backing True “3D generative AI” platform: converts sketches, text, or 3D scans into highly editable, production-ready CAD/mesh in seconds. SOLIDWORKS plug-in and web app output native .sldprt, .STEP, .STL, .OBJ, .GLB, and .PLY files—integrates with full modern manufacturing workflow. Proprietary AI model trained on more than 100 million unique 3D geometries—largest private industrial 3D dataset. Built for manufacturable output: “clean” geometry, editable feature history, and direct use by engineers, not just for gaming/art. Massive time-to-value: 3D scan to editable CAD in minutes (vs. days manually), parametric feature breakdown, lowers barrier to entry for both novices and pros.
