Cartesian – AI 3D Modeling for Design

Formas launched Cartesian, an AI 3D modeling tool for architecture and product design that generates editable solids and NURBS geometry from photographs, plans, sketches, scans or existing models. Cartesian preserves user-specified elements exactly, such as keeping restaurant booths along a wall, and exports to SketchUp, Rhino, BIM and AutoCAD workflows without requiring a separate desktop CAD licence. The tool builds named elements and explicit relationships intended to feed structured models into BIM workflows.

Change a chair. Keep the room. Each object has its own place in the model.

Native surfaces, precise edges and editable assemblies. No polygon-mesh approximations.

Named elements and explicit relationships give the model a structured path into BIM workflows.

Howthree moves, every time

A skylit restaurant like this one. Keep the booths along the wall exactly.

Say it.

Like you would to a colleague.

Keep the booths

Add what you have.

A photo. A plan. A sketch, scan or model. What you keep stays exactly. The rest is free to change.

It's made.

The restaurant, every chair, table and plant an exact part. Open it in SketchUp, Rhino or any CAD. Change anything by asking.

What you can makereal models, made by Cartesian

Across platforms. Across file formats.

Bring your workflow with you—from BIM and AutoCAD to Rhino and SketchUp. Create exact solids and NURBS geometry in Cartesian, without a separate expensive desktop CAD licence.

Why

Real solids, not pictures.

Measure it, cut it, print it, machine it.

Yours stays yours.

What you keep is never redrawn. What clashes is said out loud.

It understands.

What you mean, how things relate, what must not move.
