Mechanical Parts

Generate mechanical parts from text.

Brackets, mounting plates, shafts, housings, levers — describe what you need and download a parametric STEP file, ready for SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or FreeCAD.

AiCadGen turns a plain-English description of a mechanical part into a real, parametric 3D model. Instead of clicking through sketch, extrude and fillet operations, you describe the part — dimensions, hole patterns, wall thickness, fillets — and get back a STEP file you can open and edit in any major CAD package. It is built for the parts engineers actually make: load-bearing brackets, adapters, housings and fixtures.

STEP (AP242)STLOBJ

Why use AiCadGen for this

  • Real B-Rep solids exported as AP242 STEP (mm) — not meshes — so features import cleanly into SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and FreeCAD.
  • Parametric output you can keep editing: change a hole spacing or wall thickness downstream without starting over.
  • Iterate by chat — refine "make the wall 4 mm and add a 3 mm fillet" instead of re-modelling.
Example prompts
  • $Mounting bracket with 4x M6 holes, 3mm wall, 5mm fillet
  • $Hex shaft adapter, M12 threaded one end, 8mm hex other end
  • $Linear rail mount for SBR16, 60mm long, M4 fasteners
  • $Pulley housing, 50mm OD, 6802 bearing seat, mounting ears

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit the generated part in SolidWorks or Fusion 360?

Yes. Parts export as AP242 STEP solids in millimetres, which import as editable B-Rep bodies. Feature-recognition tools (FeatureWorks, the Fusion "Recognize features" workflow) can convert them back into a parametric feature tree.

Is the output a solid model or just a mesh?

A real solid (B-Rep). That means accurate edges, faces and dimensions you can measure and constrain — unlike an STL mesh, which is only good for printing or rendering.

How accurate are the dimensions?

Dimensions you specify are honoured exactly. The model is generated parametrically from your numbers, so a 60 mm length is 60.000 mm.
