Have a drawing?
Upload it for AI-assisted recognition. Review and correct the part description, then choose the level of detail before generation.
Turn your ideas or scanned drawings into editable FreeCAD projects, STEP models and STL meshes, while keeping an engineer in control.

Describe a part in text for your first design ideas. Get a first parametric CAD direction quickly, then continue with a CAD engineer.
Ideas to CAD supports, not replaces, engineers. It removes repeat modeling work so you can focus on design decisions and checks.
FreeCAD is open source, and its document format is designed to remain readable forever. Your work is not locked into one vendor and can be imported into other CAD systems. Its open API can be scripted, so future AI tools can modify parts, automate FEM workflows, and run collision checks in assemblies. Repeatable automation can be planned instead of rebuilding every base part by hand. With Elmer multi-physics FEM integration, simulation results can guide geometry changes and support practical design loops.
The review step lets you decide how parametric the output should be. For example, you can skip detailed thread modeling when a simple representation is more useful.
Depending on the workflow, you can use an editable FreeCAD project or exchange geometry through STEP and STL outputs.
Ideas to CAD speeds up the repeat work of modeling base parts from old drawings or new designs, without taking the engineer out of the loop.
