"kernelCAD turns natural-language descriptions into real, parametric CAD models. Ask for a part, bracket, enclosure, or mechanism and kernelCAD writes editable .kcad.ts source backed by a true BREP kernel (OpenCascade), then lets you inspect topology, run design checks (interference, manufacturability, reachability, load), and export to STEP/STL. Every model opens in an interactive 3D viewer right inside the conversation, so you can rotate, zoom, and review the part without leaving ChatGPT. Unlike a text-to-image tool, kernelCAD produces engineering-grade geometry with named faces and edges, parametric features, assemblies with mates and joints, and validation gates that catch broken or non-manufacturable models before you build."
"Create and edit dimensioned parametric CAD parts and assemblies from natural-language instructions. Design enclosures, brackets, gears and motor mounts; change dimensions, inspect an interactive 3D model, and run supported geometry and manufacturability checks. Export CAD and manufacturing files in STEP, STL or 3MF, and drawings in DXF or PDF. Check results describe the supported checks performed; manufacturing requirements still depend on the chosen process and material."
