What you get inside SOLIDWORKS.

Agent Mode: modify your model with plain language.

Make model modifications through natural language commands. Type the change you want and CADABRA executes the real SOLIDWORKS operation, so you see exactly how it is done while the work gets done for you.

  • Real SOLIDWORKS feature operations, not throwaway macros.
  • A clear explanation with every step so you learn as you go.

Ask Mode: your model, fully explained.

Ask questions about your model's geometry, dimensions, and design intent. CADABRA can also search the web for component pricing, manufacturing processes, material properties, and industry best practices. It acts as your research assistant while you design.

  • Instant answers about any feature, dimension, or material in your model.
  • Web search for pricing, manufacturing, and standards without leaving SOLIDWORKS.

Error Troubleshooting: learn while you fix.

CADABRA identifies SOLIDWORKS errors in real-time and provides step-by-step troubleshooting guidance, helping you learn CAD best practices rather than just clicking through error dialogs.

  • Real-time error identification inside SOLIDWORKS.
  • Step-by-step guidance that explains the why, not just the fix.

File Analysis: understand any design instantly.

Upload an image, PDF, or SOLIDWORKS drawing file and CADABRA breaks it down into a full build guide. It explains the geometry, design decisions, and step-by-step process so you understand it, not just copy it.

  • Upload an image or drawing and get a full build walkthrough.
  • Understand intent, not just steps.

Questions, answered.

Who qualifies for student pricing?
Students with a valid academic email address in a supported region. The plan is $15/month, includes four times the usage of Free plus Plan, Agent and Debug Mode, and is licensed for non-commercial coursework. It is not currently offered in the EU, EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland; students there should use the Free plan or Professional. If your institution’s address is academic but is not recognised at sign-up, email us and we will check it.
Is there a free version?
Yes. The Free plan needs no card and includes baseline monthly usage, Ask Mode against your CAD model, live web search, and read-only model understanding. Every paid plan is a multiple of that baseline usage.
What is Ask Mode?
Ask Mode is CADABRA’s read-only assistant. It answers questions about the open model, its geometry, dimensions, features, and materials, and it can search the web for component pricing, material properties, and manufacturing processes without leaving SOLIDWORKS. It makes no changes to your model.
Do I need my own SOLIDWORKS license?
Yes. CADABRA is an add-in, not a CAD system. You keep your existing SOLIDWORKS license, files, libraries, and PDM, and CADABRA works inside them.
How accurate is it, and who checks the work?
You do. CADABRA performs real operations on your model and shows exactly what it changed, so every edit is reviewable in the feature tree and revertible.
