MecAgent raises $3M to reshape mechanical engineering workflows with its AI CAD Copilot

When each design iteration can cost hours of engineering work and slow down a product’s time-to-market, MecAgent aims to reinvent how mechanical engineers operate.

Bridging the Gap: From Concept to Manufacturing-Ready CAD

Leveraging autonomous agents, the startup is developing an intelligent assistant that automates repetitive tasks such as modeling, verification, and cost estimation throughout the design cycle.

At the core of the solution is a Specs-to-CAD technology, capable of converting textual descriptions or sketches into parametric 3D files. The goal: reduce friction between an idea and a manufacturing-ready file, and accelerate the transition from concept to prototype.

Key Features of the AI CAD Copilot

MecAgent is built to handle the most time-consuming parts of the design cycle :

• Parts Generation – Automatically transforms textual descriptions and context into usable 3D models

• Smart File Search – Explore CAD databases using keywords or sketches

• Compliance Verification – Detects errors based on industry standards

• Real-Time Cost Estimation – Calculates costs dynamically based on geometry, materials, and processes

Seamless Integration with Industry Standards

To ensure widespread adoption, MecAgent is fully compatible with the industry’s leading CAD toolchains:

• Dassault Systèmes: SolidWorks & CATIA

• Autodesk: Fusion 360 & Inventor

• PTC: Creo

Designed to plug directly into existing engineering workflows, MecAgent fosters smoother collaboration between technical and business teams. It is the ideal solution for industrial companies, manufacturers, and hardware startups looking to accelerate design cycles while enhancing output quality.
