HiCAD
AI-driven CAD modeling platform for building 3D models with agent assistance.
What it does and how it connects
HiCAD is an AI-driven parametric 3D CAD modeling platform. A user describes an idea in natural language and the tool generates a parametric model in seconds, for 3D printing. The README is written in Chinese and describes two-stage precise modeling: intent analysis followed by deterministic code generation, with the AI generating parametric JSCAD 3D code.
The platform has real-time 3D preview with Three.js 360-degree rotation, a Monaco code editor, a parametric control panel with sliders for live size adjustment, STL and OBJ export, a template market for community-shared parametric templates, model sharing links, and multiple AI adapters: DeepSeek, OpenAI and Qwen, switched with one line in .env.
The stack is Vue 3 and Vite on the frontend with Pinia and Tailwind CSS, and NestJS with TypeScript on the backend. Setup needs Node.js 18 or newer and pnpm 9 or newer, plus at least one AI API key. The README says registration needs an activation code obtained by following a WeChat public account, and the online demo is hosted at hicad.mvtable.com.
What engineers report
The reporter asks whether model endpoints can be customized, because they run their own local AI server and the tool fixes the model endpoints.

Not verified
- Pricing: none stated on the repo.
- The README is written in Chinese; the entry paraphrases it, and the issue #1 voice is a paraphrase of a translated title, not a verbatim quote.
- The last push to the repo is 2026-05-27, so the repo has not been pushed in over five months.
- No GitHub releases exist, so latest release fields are null.
- No Error Index entry matches HiCAD or JSCAD, so related errors are empty.
