From AI to CAD to Production
Design with AI. Validate with simulation. Export for manufacturing. Publish as a configurator.
AI-Powered Design
Describe what you need in plain language. AI generates a fully parametric 3D model — not a static mesh, but an editable model with parameters, constraints, and manufacturing logic built in.
- Natural language to parametric 3D model
- Auto-generated parameter structures
- AI understands constraints and relationships
- Iterate and refine with conversation
FEM Validation
Validate designs before manufacturing. Define loads, fixtures, and materials on the parametric model, then run the analysis on our cloud FEM service — no manual export, no CAE package to install. Results come back into the same model and feed the next iteration.
- Structural analysis driven from the model, solved in the cloud
- Stress and deflection results linked back to parameters
- Results feed back into design optimization
- Ensure manufacturability before export
High-Performance 3D Engine
A modern CAD engine built for AI integration and speed. WebGL-accelerated rendering, efficient Boolean operations, and B-Rep geometry deliver manufacturing-grade precision at interactive framerates.
- AI-native architecture with structured API
- B-Rep geometry for precise STEP export
- 30+ parametric primitives
- Boolean operations (union, subtract, intersect)
Manufacturing-Ready Exports
Export directly to manufacturing. B-Rep STEP files preserve precise solids for CNC, injection molding, and downstream CAD. STL supports 3D printing, IFC supports BIM, DXF supports laser cutting, and BOMs or cut lists are generated automatically from the same model.
- B-Rep STEP (ISO 10303) for CNC & CAD systems
- IFC for Revit, ArchiCAD, and BIM workflows
- STL and 3MF for 3D printing
- Generated BOMs, quantities, and cut lists
Excel-Based Parametric Logic
The engine that drives everything. Define geometry, constraints, pricing, and manufacturing rules in a familiar spreadsheet. Over 330 Excel-compatible functions. Copy/paste directly from Excel.
- 330+ Excel-compatible functions, plus confBuild-specific ones
- Formulas drive geometry, pricing, and BOMs
- Manufacturing constraints as spreadsheet rules
- Real-time 3D updates on every cell change
Photorealistic Rendering
Generate product images directly from your 3D models. Use for marketing, catalogs, customer presentations, and design validation — before anything is manufactured.
- One-click photorealistic renders
- Multiple lighting presets
- Custom backgrounds and environments
- High-resolution export
