Gemini 3.1 whilst not the best agentic coding model, has extremely strong vision (which makes it reason spatially very well).

Fable 5 was top for a brief moment, whilst it was around!

Could I see what you tried to generate?

To be completely honest CADAM is not at all a revenue driver for us. The majority of our customers are on our flagship app: https://adam.new/ which uses OpenCascade and allows you to connect to your CAD, PLM & PDM tools.

We built CADAM largely to give back to community and support a tool for hobbyists and individuals.

Thank you for giving it a shot!

CADAM is pretty good at building Gridfinity

Most of our users on CADAM are makers/tinkerers. Their #1 usecase is to generate a printable stl file for which openSCAD is ideal (LLMs are very good at generating it)

For professional workflows you can use https://adam.new/ which can work natively in your CAD software and generate .STEP via build123d

You can use https://adam.new/ if you want to connect to your CAD applications or generate real breps

tackling all that in: https://adam.new/

don't you worry ;)

This is so the .scad file stays the canonical state. With -D, the rendered geometry diverges from what the file says.

I agree openSCAD isn't anywhere near powerful enough for professional workflows. Hence why I framed this as AI TinkerCAD.

However, you can drive any professional CAD software though code. As we drive Autodesk Fusion via python through agents.

The same principles of an agent writing cad as code and then visualing inspecting the output in a loop runs through all our products. Whilst CADAM uses OpenSCAD, Fusion uses Python, Onshape use FeatureScript etc..

The majority of our enterprise traction is on our flagship product: https://adam.new/

Here you can connect to your engineering software and use AI to generate:

- CAD - Renderings - Slides for design review - BOM

and much more!
