Cadio for Onshape
Build parametric models in Onshape with text and scan — directly in the browser. Cadio brings text-to-CAD and scan-to-CAD into Onshape's cloud-native platform.
What You Can Create
Cloud-Native Part Design
Create parametric parts with sketches, extrusions, cuts, fillets, and patterns — all through natural language, right in your browser.
Team Collaboration
Work with your team in real time. Cadio operates within Onshape's multi-user environment — every change is versioned automatically.
Assemblies and Mates
Describe how parts fit together. Cadio creates assembly mates, inserts standard parts, and manages multi-part configurations from natural language.
Scan-to-CAD inside Onshape
Upload a mesh to Onshape and Cadio rebuilds it as editable parametric features — directly in the cloud. Named bolt holes, fillets, sealing faces, and draft angles, all versioned in Onshape's history.
