Generate Editable CAD Models with AI

VIZON's AI CAD generator turns a text description into an editable parametric 3D model. Specify dimensions and features, generate the CAD geometry, then continue editing the model using VIZON's browser-based CAD tools.

VIZON AI CAD generator result: a flanged plate built as nine named, editable CAD features
An AI-generated flanged plate. Every step is a named feature that can be opened and changed.

What you can do

Real features, not a mesh

The AI writes the same sketches and features you would. Open any of them and change the numbers.

Edit by asking

With a part open, ask for a change. The AI sees your current view and edits the existing feature list.

Fast and Detailed modes

Fast for quick parts and edits, Detailed for more complex parts that need more careful planning.

Reference images

Attach up to four reference images when creating a new part to show the shape you have in mind.

Self-repair

If a generated feature fails to build, VIZON sends the kernel error back for one automatic repair round.

Export anywhere

Save the result to your library and export STEP for other CAD tools or STL for printing.

Real output: a flanged plate in nine features

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI output editable?

Yes. The AI writes a parametric feature list, so every sketch, extrude, hole and fillet can be edited like one you made yourself.

What kinds of parts work best?

Mechanical parts made from sketches and standard features: plates, brackets, flanges, spacers, enclosures, mounts and similar prismatic or turned parts.

Does AI generation cost credits?

Yes, each generation or edit uses AI credits from your Zimension account. The current balance is shown in the editor header.

Can it edit a part I made by hand?

Yes. Open the AI bar on any part and describe the change. It works on the existing features.
