Adam, backed by Y Combinator's W25 batch, is an open-source AI CAD tool that uses generative AI to create 3D models from text prompts. It leverages a custom transformer model trained on millions of CAD files and part catalogs. Users describe objects in natural language (e.g., 'a bracket with four holes') and Adam generates editable parametric solids. The tool integrates with popular CAD software like Fusion 360 and SolidWorks via export formats. The repository includes pre-trained models and a web interface. Adam aims to democratize 3D modeling for hobbyists and engineers, reducing design time. Its open-source nature allows customization for specific industries.
