Frequently asked questions

Short answers about text-to-CAD, STEP files, accuracy, credits, and how CADAGEN works.

What is text-to-CAD?
Text-to-CAD turns a written or visual description of a mechanical part into CAD geometry. CADAGEN produces an editable STEP starting model, plus STL for mesh workflows.
Is CADAGEN output ready for manufacturing?
Treat it as an engineering starting model. Verify critical dimensions, tolerances, fits, loads, material, and manufacturing process in your CAD workflow before production.
Which file formats does CADAGEN produce?
CADAGEN provides editable STEP for CAD/CAM workflows and STL when you need a mesh. Draft views can also be exported in the formats shown in the Studio.
How do I create a STEP file from a description?
Click Try CADAGEN, continue with Google, describe the part with its important dimensions and features, then generate. Inspect the result in the Studio before downloading STEP.
Is my data used for training?
Yes. As part of providing and improving the service, your prompts and generated CAD models may be used by CADAGEN and the AI model providers it uses for AI model training, fine-tuning, and quality optimization. Your personal identity and payment details are excluded.
Do I own my designs?
Yes. You retain ownership of the parts you describe, subject to the Terms of service.
Do credits expire?
Purchased credits expire after the period shown on the Pricing page at purchase. Your free balance tops up to 10 each month and does not stack.
How are payments handled?
When checkout is available, payments are processed by Creem. CADAGEN does not store your card details.
What happens if generation fails?
A failed job is not charged. Refine the description and try again, or contact support with the job ID if the problem continues.
