Product Overview
What is Adam?
Adam is an AI agent that functions as an autonomous mechanical engineer, performing real engineering work directly within professional CAD platforms like Onshape, Autodesk Fusion, and SolidWorks. Rather than providing suggestions or generating static models, Adam applies actual edits to your feature tree using the same tools human engineers use. The platform connects to your CAD, PLM, supplier catalogs, and collaboration tools (Slack, email, Gmail) through 3,000+ integrations, reading geometry, BOMs, drawings, and revisions in real time as one connected graph. Adam handles recurring engineering tasks including geometry edits, BOM reconciliation, supplier sourcing, CMF directions, render generation, and RFQ drafting, then hands back finished outputs ready to ship or adjust.
Key Features
Direct CAD Integration
Operates natively within Onshape, Fusion, and SolidWorks, applying changes directly to the feature tree rather than generating external files or suggestions.
Text-to-Parametric Design
Converts plain-text prompts into fully editable parametric 3D models, allowing users to describe parts or modifications and have Adam execute technical modeling steps.
3,000+ Integrations
Connects to CAD, PLM, supplier catalogs (McMaster-Carr, Digi-Key, Xometry), and collaboration tools (Slack, Gmail, Jira, Notion) without exporting IP copies.
Multi-Task Engineering Workflow
Handles geometry edits, BOM management, supplier comparison, ECO packets, RFQ drafting, CMF directions, renders, and factory handoff packaging in one workspace.
Feature Tree Optimization
Rebuilds bloated feature trees into cleaner structures, edits multiple features simultaneously, and parametrizes parts with variables pushed to Variable Studio.
Use Cases
- Mechanical Part Design : Engineers create mechanical parts and functional prototypes in seconds using natural language prompts instead of manual modeling.
- BOM Management & Sourcing : Review and clean up BOMs, fill missing manufacturer part numbers, flag long-lead items, find component alternates, and compare supplier options with cost and lead time analysis.
- Design Review Preparation : Pull build notes, open issues, and CAD screenshots into design review briefs; create ECO packets with affected parts, risks, and approvals.
- CMF & Render Generation : Generate three CMF directions with Pantone specs and create hero shots or exploded views for product reviews without manual rendering work.
- Vendor RFQ Automation : Draft RFQ emails with tolerances, finish specifications, quantity breaks, and target delivery dates, then stage them in drafts for sending to sheet-metal shops or vendors.
