Cartesian – AI 3D Modeling for Design

infoAI industryimportance 8
AI summary · glm-5.3

Formas launches Cartesian, an AI 3D modeling tool for architecture and product design with natural-language editing and CAD exports.

Cartesian by Formas is an AI-powered 3D modeling tool aimed at architecture and product design that converts photos, rough plans, sketches, and scans into precise geometry. Users can edit models conversationally while explicitly preserved elements stay unchanged. It creates real solids and NURBS geometry and exports to AutoCAD DWG, Rhino 3DM, and SketchUp SKP, with BIM IFC support planned, removing the need for a separate desktop CAD license.

  • Turns photos, sketches, and plans into exact 3D solids and NURBS geometry
  • Natural-language editing keeps user-specified elements unchanged
  • Exports to AutoCAD DWG, Rhino 3DM, SketchUp SKP; BIM IFC planned
  • Eliminates need for separate desktop CAD license

Say it. Sketch it. Drag it in. It understands what you mean and builds it with maximum precision. Nothing to learn.

Howthree moves, every time

A skylit restaurant like this one. Keep the booths along the wall exactly.

Say it.

Like you would to a colleague.

Keep the booths

Add what you have.

A photo. A plan. A sketch, scan or model. What you keep stays exactly. The rest is free to change.

It's made.

The restaurant, every chair, table and plant an exact part. Open it in SketchUp, Rhino or any CAD. Change anything by asking.

What you can makereal models, made by Cartesian

Across platforms. Across file formats.

Model and edit with precision.

Bring your workflow with you—from BIM and AutoCAD to Rhino and SketchUp. Create exact solids and NURBS geometry in Cartesian, without a separate expensive desktop CAD licence.

Why

Real solids, not pictures.

Measure it, cut it, print it, machine it.

Yours stays yours.

What you keep is never redrawn. What clashes is said out loud.

It understands.

What you mean, how things relate, what must not move.
