Adam
An AI copilot for hardware teams that automates model edits, BOM, and RFQs across Onshape, SolidWorks, and Fusion
What is it
Adam is a US AI CAD copilot built for hardware teams. It works across multiple CAD environments like Onshape, SolidWorks, and Fusion, helping automate model editing, bill-of-materials (BOM) management, and drafting request-for-quote (RFQ) documents. For the hardware-development process, it threads together the many chores of design, parts, and the procurement front end.
What problem it solves
A hardware team's daily work isn't just modeling — it involves constant model changes, maintaining BOMs, and preparing documents to request quotes from suppliers, work that's scattered and repetitive and easily slows the development pace. Adam automates model editing, BOM management, and RFQ drafting, and supports multiple mainstream CAD tools so the team isn't locked to one tool. It suits hardware-development teams needing to handle design and procurement-front-end work at once. Note that BOMs and RFQ documents involve real procurement and cost, so AI-produced content is still best confirmed by the responsible person before sending out, to avoid affecting downstream procurement decisions.
Key Features
- AI CAD copilot for hardware teams
- Supports Onshape, SolidWorks, Fusion multi-platform
- Automated model editing
- Bill-of-materials (BOM) management
- Request-for-quote (RFQ) document drafting
- Threads design and procurement-front-end work
Pros
- Works across multiple CAD tools, not locked to one
- Automates design, BOM, and RFQ together
- Fits hardware teams' actual workflow
Cons
- BOM and RFQ documents still need human confirmation before sending
- Actual multi-platform integration results vary by environment
Use Cases
- Hardware teams automating repetitive model-editing work
- Maintaining and updating a product's bill of materials
- Quickly drafting RFQ documents to request supplier quotes
Editor's Note
Threads model changes, BOM, and RFQ into one line — catching hardware teams' real pain points.
FAQ
Which CAD software does Adam support?
It works across Onshape, SolidWorks, and Fusion, so hardware teams aren't confined to a single CAD environment.
Does it only do modeling?
No — Adam also covers BOM management and RFQ drafting, threading together the work from design to the procurement front end.
Can the RFQ documents be sent to suppliers directly?
The AI can draft them first, but since they involve real procurement and cost, it's advised the responsible person confirm the content before sending out.
