It turns out that LLMs can make CAD models for simple 3D mechanical parts. And, I think they’ll be extremely good at it soon.

Longer term, I imagine GenCAD will reach every aspect of a CAD suite: sketches, mates, assemblies, exploded views, CAM tool-pathing, rendering visualizations, and CAE. Imagine a design review where you highlight a subassembly and say “replace these rivets with M6 countersunk screws and regenerate the BOM.” The model, drawings, and purchasing spreadsheet all update in seconds.
