Most AI 3D generators just output lumpy meshes.
WebCAD generates mathematical surfaces.
I taught CAD Genie how to use advanced operations:
Revolve: "Make a wine glass" (Profile + Axis)
Loft: "Make a bottle" (Multi-plane profiles + Guide)
It doesn't guess pixels. It generates the B-Rep history stack.

4:1 Planetary Gearbox: Design to Stress
0.5 N·m in, 2 N·m out. The fixed ring gear passes the difference into the frame through three M4 bolts. Mild Steel, peak stress 0.99 MPa: about 1/250th of yield.
Parallel-jaw gripper. One servo, 20-tooth pinion, two racks.
As I move one number, the pinion angle. The jaws, the carriages and the rods adjust.
Then 100N of grip: 9.6 MPa peak, 0.04 mm deflection, 6061 Aluminium.
4 Piston boxer engine stress analysis video by GPT 6-Astra. All autonomously. Mostly steel at E=210GPa
The CAD file runs its own wind tunnel. One script: builds the UAV (NURBS lofts, native kernel), declares the aero case, voxelizes 2.6M cells, runs LBM (240 Re) on WebGPU, and paints surface pressure.
5 DOF arm, ceiling rail edition: requested by @AiPrepperX
Same arm as last week, hung upside down on a prismatic rail traverse. Parts unchanged, the solver does the 180° flip from one mount connector.
Contact sweep: 0.298mm running clearance across the range of motion.
Replying to @MakerMatters
Are you able to simulate this same arm but up-side-down hanging from the base?
Same tasks, same movements but the base it bolted to a ceiling rail mounted rail to provide some side-to-side movement of base ... but the arm does the same tasks, but just reaching down.
jk lol, but it's incredibly scary after what happened to @mattshumer_
