How can CADABRA help my business?

CADABRA automates the repetitive parts of CAD work, modifications, drawings, BOMs, so projects ship faster and engineers spend more time on design instead of menu-clicking.

What is an AI CAD Copilot?

An AI CAD Copilot is an AI assistant that lives inside a CAD program, like SOLIDWORKS, and performs real CAD operations from natural-language prompts. Instead of clicking through menus, an engineer types what they want ("fillet all sharp edges 2 mm," "generate a drawing with our title block"), and the copilot executes the feature operations, updates the model, and produces deliverables.

Is there an AI for SolidWorks?

Yes. CADABRA is the leading AI CAD Copilot for SOLIDWORKS. It installs as a SOLIDWORKS add-in, edits parts and assemblies from natural-language prompts, generates production drawings and BOMs, and integrates with PLM/PDM. Pricing starts at $15/month for students and $99/month for professionals.

How much does CADABRA cost?

CADABRA costs $15/month for students, $99/month for individual professionals, and custom pricing for enterprise teams. Enterprise plans include SSO, PLM/PDM connectors, dedicated solutions engineering, and SOC 2-aligned security controls.

Does CADABRA work without an internet connection?

CADABRA requires internet connectivity to reach its AI processing environment. CAD data is encrypted in transit, processed inside CADABRA's AWS environment, and isolated per organization. CADABRA never trains its models on customer data.

Can CADABRA generate BOMs and RFQs from a SOLIDWORKS assembly?

Yes. CADABRA generates production-ready bills of materials and RFQs directly from SOLIDWORKS assemblies, using your company's title blocks, naming conventions, supplier preferences, and design standards.

CADABRA was founded by mechanical engineers with more than twelve years of hands-on SOLIDWORKS experience. The company is headquartered in San Diego, California, and is backed by NVIDIA Inception and Berkeley SkyDeck.

Fewer errors

AI-driven edits stay consistent across every assembly and part, cutting manual mistakes and costly rework.

Lower costs

Less engineering time means lower project costs. Save hours on every job and watch the savings add up.

Smarter decisions

CADABRA learns your patterns and suggests optimizations, standard parts, and better alternatives as you work.

Scales with you

As your design library and team grow, CADABRA scales with you, learning your workflow to keep improving over time.

Built for the tools engineers already use.

CADABRA runs today as a SOLIDWORKS add-in. More CAD, PLM, and PDM integrations are on the way.

Questions, answered.

Who is CADABRA for?

CADABRA is built for mechanical engineers, product designers, and manufacturers who use SOLIDWORKS and want to spend less time on repetitive CAD work.

Is CADABRA secure for company data?

CADABRA protects customer IP through private indexing, and never trains models on customer data. CAD information is encrypted, isolated per organization, and processed inside our AWS environment. Our security practices align with SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria.

How does CADABRA integrate with SOLIDWORKS?

CADABRA installs as an extension and connects directly to your SOLIDWORKS environment. It uses your existing CAD libraries and tools, so you can start automating without changing how you work.

How does CADABRA integrate with PLM, PDM, and third-party tools?

CADABRA connects to major PLM and PDM systems through their APIs and pulls in components, title blocks, and design standards as it works. Your PLM/PDM stays the source of truth.

How is CADABRA different from SolidWorks Aura?

CADABRA edits the model. Aura answers questions about it. CADABRA performs real CAD operations using your company's standards. Aura is a conversational assistant.
