Backflip AI

O que é Backflip AI?

Backflip AI is an AI copilot for CAD and 3D modeling workflows. It reconstructs engineering drawings, 3D scans, mesh files, and photographs as editable, parametric 3D models with feature trees, sketches, constraints, and references. The product is available as a standalone web app and as an Autodesk Fusion add-in, helping engineers work from existing physical or archival data within familiar CAD workflows.

O que Backflip AI pode fazer?

Drawing to CAD

Inspects geometry and dimensions in legacy engineering drawings and reconstructs them as parametric 3D models with a full feature tree that can be edited in CAD software.

3D scan to editable CAD

Converts STL, OBJ, GLB, GLTF, and PLY mesh files into native parametric models with a feature tree, sketch constraints, and external references.

Photo to CAD

Rebuilds physical objects from a few photographs as parametric 3D models. One known dimension provides the scale for the reconstruction.

CAD-aware construction

Uses CAD operations such as Extrude, Revolve, Pattern, Chamfer, and Fillet to generate models through a construction strategy that reflects standard engineering workflows.

Adjustable processing modes

Offers Fast Mode and Thinking Mode so users can choose between different levels of processing effort for supported jobs.

CAD workflow integration

Works as an add-in for Autodesk Fusion and as a standalone web app, with support for additional CAD software described as forthcoming.

Casos de uso

“Recover legacy drawing archives”

Turn older engineering drawings into editable 3D CAD models so archived design knowledge can be reused in current workflows.

“Convert scanned parts for redesign”

Start from a 3D scan or mesh file and produce a feature-based model suitable for further CAD editing, especially for 3-axis CNC and turned parts.

“Model a physical object from photographs”

Use a few phone photographs and one known measurement to create a scaled, parametric representation of an existing object.

“Accelerate routine CAD construction”

Use the copilot inside Autodesk Fusion or through the web app to generate geometry using familiar CAD operations and editable model structures.

Perguntas frequentes
