It understands your design intent as you sketch and finishes the constraints, dimensions and cleanup, one keystroke at a time. Try it for free Available for Autodesk Fusion on Mac and Windows. A fresh rectangle appears and it offers both centerlines. Here that is the mirror to four circles, symmetry constraints included. · Retired 3D Printing Hobbyist It's scary how dependent I have become on Sketch Helper, it is such a time-saver. · Founder and CEO only about 1/3 of my time is spent actually solving problems or evaluating the design... · Mechanical Engineer I'll just throw lines down and pick the Hestus solution that makes the most sense afterwards O O.L. making sure design is ready for manufacturing takes lots effort. · Freelance CAD Educator Using Hestus AI with my Fusion 360 projects has helped me... · Founder and CEO Hestus is more critical now than ever as engineers are moving faster from design to manufactured parts. · Mechanical Engineering Student The boost that features like mirror and dangling point gave to my design capabilities was exactly what I needed to win my first CAD hackathon. Hestus runs inside the CAD you already use. Introducing it on Hacker News, the author wrote: "We're working on an AI copilot for CAD. Our goal is to automate these mundane processes, allowing engineers to focus on the creative aspects of design. Having worked at multiple hardware companies—from medical devices to space launch vehicles—we know how often “trivial” components such as manufacturing rigging, get brushed under the table in scheduling conversations."
