01Start from design intent

Use text or a reference image to express what you want to create.

02Keep the model editable

Continue with dimensions, constraints, features, and parametric design history.

03Design in the browser

Build precise parts, assemblies, and drawings in zCAD Online without a desktop CAD setup.

04Save, version, and share

Keep the latest design online and bring others into review when you need feedback.

WHAT IS zCAD AI

Intent to editable 3D.

Describe what you want to create or provide a reference image. zCAD AI understands your design intent and turns it into structured, editable parametric CAD.

Explore zCAD AI

Text and image input

Describe an idea in words or use a reference image to communicate the intended form.

Understands design intent

Interprets the form and function you want before generating geometry from your direction.

WHAT IS zCAD Online

Cloud CAD for real engineering work.

Model precise parts and large assemblies, create engineering drawings, manage versions, and collaborate with the team in one cloud-native workspace.

Explore zCAD Online

Parts and large assemblies

Create precise features and product structures from an AI model, imported CAD, or a blank project.

Specialized engineering tools

Develop sheet metal, weldments, freeform surfaces, drawings, and production-ready geometry.

Real-time collaboration

Keep simultaneous editing, permissions, automatic saving, versions, comments, and review connected.

WHY zCAD

Your idea stays editable.

Move AI-generated parametric geometry into precise CAD without flattening the design or rebuilding it from scratch.

AI that continues as CAD

Turn text or images into editable parametric geometry, then continue shaping every feature in professional CAD.

WHO zCAD IS FOR

Built for designers. Ready for teams.

Work independently with professional CAD tools, then bring teammates, reviewers, or manufacturing partners into the same design when the project grows.
