Open WebCADFrançais

For anyone with an idea for a physical part

WebCAD is for people who need a real part, not a CAD career. Describe it, check it, and export a file a printer or a shop can use.

  • Makers and 3D printing

    You own a printer but still download other people’s models. Describe your own part, adjust it, and export STL for your slicer.

    • Brackets, mounts, enclosures and knobs
    • STL export for any slicer
    • Edit an imported STL: sketch on it and cut into it

  • Inventors

    You have an idea on paper. Get it into 3D, see it move, and check it will hold before you pay for a prototype.

    • A model from a description, a photo or a sketch
    • Mechanisms with joints you can drive
    • STEP for a manufacturer

  • Students and teachers

    No licences to install and no IT tickets. Open a browser tab and model, assemble and test from the first class.

    • Runs in a browser on school laptops and iPads
    • Stress tests free on every plan
    • 11 languages

  • Tradespeople

    You know exactly what the bracket or jig should look like. Describe it with its dimensions and send the file to a printer or a shop.

    • Dimensions in your own words
    • STEP for the machine shop
    • Nothing to install on the shop computer

  • Startups

    Show the actual part, not a slide about it. Model the concept, check it under load, and hand STEP to a supplier.

    • From concept to tested part in one tab
    • Heat and airflow studies in Pro
    • Drawings that dimension themselves in Pro

  • Engineers

    Your main CAD is for final work. For a quick concept or a first stress check, open a tab instead of a project.

    • Stress, displacement and vibration modes
    • Checked against textbook beam bending: within 1%
    • STEP into your main tool

For companies

When a team draws the same kind of thing again and again, we can build WebCAD around your equipment and your rules.

Questions people ask before they try it

Do I need CAD experience?

No. Describe the part in plain words and CAD Genie builds it. You can then change it by describing the change, or with the sketch and feature tools.

Do I need an account?

Not to model or to run a stress test. A free account adds CAD Genie and STEP and STL export.

Can I give exact dimensions?

Yes. Put them in your sentence (“80 mm span, 4 mm wall, M6 holes on 60 mm centres”), and change any dimension afterwards.

How accurate are the stress results?

They are linear static results meant for design decisions, and the solver matches textbook cantilever bending within 1%. For anything safety-critical, have a qualified engineer review the design.

Is it useful if I already use CAD?

Yes, for quick concepts and first stress checks. Export STEP and continue in your main tool.

Which languages does it speak?

English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Arabic. CAD Genie answers in your language.

What does it cost?

Free to start, with 25 CAD Genie credits a month. Pro is CA$24.99 a month with 400 credits and the heat, airflow and drawing workspaces.

Open a tab. Build something real.

No install and no credit card. Describe your first part in a sentence.
