Cartesian – AI 3D Modeling for Design

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.

SceneMosaic: Efficient and Diverse Simulation-Ready Scene Generation via Hybrid Agentic Layout Evolution

SceneMosaic combines image-based 3D priors with VLM agent refinement to generate diverse, simulation-ready indoor scenes 24x faster than agentic baselines.

SceneMosaic is a hybrid framework that takes an initial candidate from a learned image-to-3D prior and evolves it with VLM agents for efficiency and physical validity. It decomposes scenes into independent local units, evolves each separately, and composes the global scene via Cartesian product. On SceneEval-100 it matches the strongest agentic baseline in semantic layout quality with a 24x speedup, substantially reduces physical violations, and receives the highest human ratings. Code is publicly available.
