PRODUCT

CAD that preserves the intent behind the design

Ignite0 treats not only geometry but also its purpose and conditions as design data. People and AI can work from the same design intent, making 3D models easier to revise later.

CHALLENGES

CAD challenges go beyond the interface

Even when you know what you want to make, getting started in CAD, revising the shape, and explaining the intent to others all take time.

01

Too much work before it takes shape

Learning the controls takes time and can stop the work before the idea becomes a model.

02

Changes take time

Even a small revision can mean tracing the history and repeating several operations.

03

The reasoning is hard to share

The model alone does not explain why its dimensions or shape were chosen.

APPROACH

Faster to make, faster to revise

Tell Ignite0 what you want to make with words or images, then revise the result through AI instructions or direct controls. It reduces the work involved from creation through revision.

Start making

Typical CAD
Learn the interface, then build the shape
Ignite0
Describe what you want with words or an image

Refine a shape

Typical CAD
Trace the history and repeat the required operations
Ignite0
Adjust it with a simple instruction while preserving the intent

Share intent

Typical CAD
Share the model and operation history
Ignite0
Share the shape and the thinking behind it together

HOW IT WORKS

Change one detail without breaking the whole

What you are making, the conditions it must meet, and why it has that shape often get lost when only operations are recorded. Ignite0 treats this information as design data, helping preserve relationships and intent when the model changes.

01

Preserve intent

Keep the purpose and conditions with the geometry as design data.

02

Easier to revise

Update one area while preserving its relationships with the rest of the model.

03

Share context with AI

AI works from the same design information, so edits can follow the conversation.
