Adam CAD
AI CAD copilot for hardware teams that reads connected CAD and PLM as one graph and returns model edits, reconciled BOMs, and updated drawings, reachable from Slack, Teams, or email.
Summary rewritten from the vendor site because the catalog version did not match it.
What it does and how it connects
Adam is an AI mechanical engineer that works in a team CAD, PLM, and simulation tools and hands back finished work. Connect the CAD tools already in use and Adam reads geometry, BOMs, drawings, and revisions in real time as one connected graph, with no exported copies, keeping the BOM in sync as the model changes and flagging part-number, quantity, and revision mismatches.
From a description of a part, its dimensions, and constraints, Adam creates CAD geometry to inspect and refine, and it can inspect features and dimensions, make changes through the connected CAD tools, and rebuild the model. Simulation runs start from the current revision with results linked to the part tested, and specs, test reports, and requirements stay linked to the part they describe.
Adam is reached from wherever the team already works: Slack, Teams, or email. It connects to Onshape through the account, to Fusion through a Connector and add-in, and to SOLIDWORKS through the Adam Connector on Windows, and the team needs its own CAD licenses. The vendor states SOC 2 Type I approval, per-user sandboxes for agent work, and that model inputs are not used for training.
