How it works
The Vision
for CADen.
Type what you need or hand us a drawing. CADen handles the rest.
ASME Drawing
Drop in an ASME drawing and we pull every dimension out of it
Direct Prompt
Just describe what you want. No CAD background required
Under the hood
The CADen Pipeline
NLM Processor
Reads your input — whether it's a drawing or plain text — and figures out what you're actually trying to build
Interpreter
Breaks that down into real geometry. Holes, profiles, extrusions — the stuff CAD actually needs
Reasoning Engine
Fills in the gaps. Resolves what's implied, catches what doesn't add up, and makes sure the design holds together
Execution Layer
Drives the agent pipeline start to finish — sketch, extrude, fillet, edit — until the part is done
Output
Your Model in Onshape
A real part lands in your Onshape document — features, constraints, geometry all there. Yours to tweak however you want.
Where we're headed
Beyond Onshape.
Every CAD tool, one platform.
CADen isn't just a prompt-to-model tool. It's the bridge between every major CAD environment.
Cross-Platform
Universal CAD Translation
Working in SolidWorks? Fusion 360? CATIA? CADen reads your model and rebuilds it — natively — in any other environment. No manual re-modeling. No lost constraints.
Phase 1 — Coming Soon
Onshape Native Integration
Our first integration runs directly inside Onshape. Describe a part, drop in a drawing, and a multi-agent pipeline builds the full parametric model in your document — sketch, extrude, fillet, and all.
Users coming from SolidWorks or any other tool can import their work into CADen and pick up right where they left off — in Onshape.
