Built by people who did the detailing.

The founders spent years doing the repetitive half of mechanical design by hand.

Why this product.

The repetitive work is view placement, dimensioning, BOM entry, and finding a part somebody in the building already modeled. None of it is design, and it fills the week.

CADABRA does that half. The engineer keeps the judgment, and keeps the seat, the files and the vault they already have.

How we build it.

The engineer stays responsible. CADABRA does the mechanical work and shows what it did. It does not release parts.

Your standards. Generated drawings follow the title block, projection and notes CADABRA reads out of your own released drawings.

You control training. One setting in the dashboard stops CADABRA using your designs, prompts and files for training, on any plan, at no charge.

No migration. It installs as an add-in and works on the license, files and PDM you already have.

Questions about the company.

Who founded CADABRA?

CADABRA was founded by mechanical engineers with twelve years of hands-on SOLIDWORKS experience. The company is CADABRA AI Inc., headquartered in San Diego, California, and is part of NVIDIA Inception, Berkeley SkyDeck, the Siemens Technology Partner Program and the Onshape Startup Program.

What is CADABRA?

CADABRA is an AI CAD copilot that installs as a SOLIDWORKS add-in. You describe a change in plain English and CADABRA performs the real SOLIDWORKS feature operations: sketches edited, dimensions refit, parts rebuilt, drawings regenerated. It also produces production drawings and bills of materials on your own title blocks and standards.

How much time does it actually save?

It depends entirely on the work. The gains concentrate where the task is repetitive and well specified: generating drawings across an assembly, applying the same edit to a family of parts, and batch hole or fillet changes. On one-off modeling that needs judgment, expect little. The free plan exists so you can measure it on your own parts before paying.

Is CADABRA secure for company data?

CAD content is encrypted in transit and at rest, under a key held in a hardware-backed vault separate from the data. Indexed content is filtered to the account that wrote it. CADABRA does not sell customer data. Enterprise adds single sign-on and zero-retention handling; on every other plan you can turn training off in dashboard settings.
