What is ZOO
ZOO is an AI-driven CAD software platform focused on the field of hardware design. Its Text-to-CAD feature supports users in entering text prompts to quickly generate precise 3D CAD models, reducing the complexity and barriers of traditional CAD drawing and allowing beginners without professional drawing experience to get started easily. ZOO provides a simple user interface, supports real-time modification and adjustment, and can generate a variety of designs from simple parts to complex mechanical components. ZOO has open-sourced Text-to-CAD, limited to only the UI part. Users can obtain it on GitHub and deploy it themselves, but the core functionality for generating CAD models requires paid use.
ZOO's Main Features
- Text-to-CAD: Enter text prompts to quickly generate precise 3D CAD models, simplifying the complexity of traditional CAD drawing.
- Model APP: Supports creating and modifying CAD models through a visual interface or code editing, providing a flexible design approach.
- DIFF Viewer: Visualize changes to CAD models on GitHub, facilitating version management and collaborative development.
- Remote GPU and API Support: Use remote GPUs to accelerate computation and lower local hardware requirements, while providing open API interfaces for developers to integrate and extend.
