Geom, a startup founded by Shanna Tellerman, launches an AI tool that automates architectural drafting for production-scale homebuilding, integrating with existing CAD workflows to produce permit-ready construction documents.
Forma-oss is an open-source, local-first workspace that converts prompts or images into editable hardware projects with parts, wiring, cost estimates, and assembly instructions, integrated with AI agents and CAD tools.
An experiment with coding agents using CadQuery and OpenSCAD revealed that visual renders and tool status reports missed critical CAD defects, which were only caught by numerical checks like volume measurements.
A controlled benchmark compares CadQuery and OpenSCAD for AI agents to generate functional 3D-printable parts, revealing similar capability but differences in failure modes and tool-specific advantages.
