CADVISOR: Your AI Copilot for Mechanical Design

Mechanical design today still relies on decades-old CAD tools and workflows, resulting in slow, repetitive processes that demand extensive expertise. While software development and electronics have embraced AI-driven automation, mechanical engineers often spend weeks on tedious tasks – like hunting for standard parts or re-drawing similar geometry – instead of driving true innovation.

Cadvisor brings modern AI assistance directly into the CAD environment, dramatically shortening product development cycles and lowering the barrier from concept to prototype. By leveraging AI “agents” within CAD, Cadvisor automates the grunt work – from generating initial models to verifying designs – so engineers can focus on creative, high-value engineering decisions.

Engineers are already excited about this shift. In user feedback, mechanical designers have described AI copilots like Cadvisor as “a breath of fresh innovation in a field that’s seen no real change in over 30 years.

The Core Problem

Mechanical engineers today spend a huge amount of time doing repetitive, low-value work in CAD software — things like:

• Searching for the right standard parts in massive libraries

• Redrawing components that are almost identical to things they’ve designed before

• Manually checking designs against standards and compliance rules

• Rebuilding similar geometry for every new project

Instead of focusing on creative, innovative engineering, they’re stuck doing tedious, mechanical tasks.

This slows down product development cycles from idea → prototype → final design.

Why This is a Real Pain

From a business perspective:

• Time = Money → If a design takes weeks instead of days, companies spend more on salaries, miss deadlines, and delay market launches.

• Innovation stalls → Engineers have less time for problem-solving and new ideas because they’re busy doing repetitive CAD work.

• Competitive disadvantage → Software and electronics fields have embraced AI to speed up work, but mechanical design is decades behind.

From a user (engineer) perspective:

• Engineers feel like they’re wasting their expertise.

• Finding or redrawing a part that already exists feels frustrating and inefficient.

• They want tools that “get them” — that understand engineering standards, part reuse, and design rules.

What Cadvisor Offers

Cadvisor is your AI-powered copilot for mechanical design, built to streamline workflows and boost productivity. It:

• Automates repetitive CAD tasks – like part searches, model generation, and verification.

• Integrates seamlessly with existing CAD tools – so teams can adopt it without changing workflows.

• Accelerates product development cycles – bringing concepts to prototypes faster.

• Empowers engineers to innovate – focusing on high-value, creative design instead of tedious grunt work.

Features

Engineering Chat (Beta Available)

Engineering answers, backed by standards.

A chat interface designed for engineering teams. Backed by knowledge from standards, handbooks, and real-world practices, it helps you troubleshoot, validate, and solve mechanical design problems quickly and reliably.

P&ID and Diagrams (Launching Soon)

Turn complex engineering files into structured data.

Read information from P&IDs, process flows, GD&T drawings, electrical CAD, and more. Cross-references between symbols, tables, and parts are surfaced automatically, making technical files searchable and ready to use in engineering workflows.

3D Design Copilot (In-Development)

Turn plain language into parametric 3D models.

An AI agent that works inside your CAD tools like SolidWorks, Creo, Inventor, and more. Describe what you need in words, and it creates or modifies the model directly. From adding a fillet to building a full assembly, design work becomes faster, more intuitive, and manufacturable from the start.
