For Makers

Design Parts for Your Next Project

Create custom parts for printing, prototyping and repair. Start with a description, reference image and key dimensions in zCAD. AI, then refine the design in zCAD. Online.

3D-printed L-shaped mounting bracket with four mounting holes on a printer build plate

3D-Printed Parts

Tell zCAD. AI what you need to print and what it attaches to, and it generates a 3D model where every size you write becomes a dimension you can check and change. Review the generated model, refine its dimensions if needed, and export it.

Exploded and assembled views of a 3D-printed electronics enclosure with a removable lid, mounting posts, vent slots, and a port cutout.

Prototypes and Enclosures

Generate editable CAD models for product prototypes and enclosures from text with zCAD. AI. Describe your product’s size, mounting points, and openings. zCAD. AI generates the enclosure as an editable CAD assembly; refine it in zCAD. Online.

Replacement Parts

When a small part breaks or goes missing, finding an exact replacement can be difficult. Describe the part you need, generate an editable CAD model with zCAD. AI, and refine its dimensions before using it.

For CAD Users

CAD Workflows for Everyday Design Tasks

Build and refine mechanical parts, assemblies and drawings in your browser. Start with a sketch or existing model in zCAD. Online, or use zCAD. AI to generate a starting point.

Brackets and Mounts

Efficient mounting bracket and motor-mount design powered by AI CAD. Leverage proprietary content—existing hole patterns, slots, ribs, and motor-mount cases—to accelerate iterations from concept to production with zCAD. AI.

1U rack panel CAD model with mounting holes, vent slots and U handles, with a dimensioned detail and its text prompt

Plates and Panels

Describe the plate or panel you need, including its overall size, hole patterns, cutouts and edge interfaces. zCAD. AI generates an editable part you can open in zCAD. Online to refine hole spacing and cutout positions before export or drawing.

Two-stage spur gear reducer CAD model with top view, tooth mesh detail and the text prompt that generates it

Gears and Gear Trains

Describe the gears, shafts and supporting components you need. zCAD. AI generates a gear-train assembly you can review, then open it in zCAD. Online to check tooth counts, center distances and shaft alignment.
