CAD-Native AI

Borzo — the hardware design copilot that turns ideas into prototypes in minutes

We integrate directly into Fusion 360 (and next SolidWorks/Onshape) to design, validate, and improve models with natural language. Our wedge is an in-CAD troubleshooting agent; our beachhead vertical is UAV design; the endgame is a universal hardware copilot.

Vision

Build the world’s first hardware co-pilot — an AI that designs, validates, and improves products automatically. We compress time-to-prototype from weeks to minutes, lower the expertise barrier, and unlock faster iteration for teams of any size.

Shorter cycles → more innovation Democratized access to R&D In-workflow, not another tab

Problems we solve

  • Idea → prototype takes too long and costs too much.
  • Manual, repetitive validation (materials, configs) slows iteration.
  • Traditional CAD is expertise-heavy; answers are scattered across docs/forums.

Who we help first

  • Enthusiasts & small startups that have ideas but lack full engineering depth.
  • Experienced engineers who want to move faster by automating repetitive design & validation.

Mission

Ship an AI assistant that plugs directly into leading CAD tools (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Onshape) and turns natural-language intent into models, fixes, and validated designs — reducing time, cost, and rework.

Why now

  • LLM quality + retrieval makes domain-specific agents practical.
  • APIs for major CAD systems are mature enough for deep integration.
  • Hardware teams need speed: UAVs, robotics, consumer devices.

Three-Stage Plan

Clear milestones from an in-CAD troubleshooting wedge to a vertical copilot and, ultimately, a universal hardware design platform.

Stage 1 — CAD-Native Troubleshooting Agent

Live

Chat inside CAD to resolve errors and learn workflows without leaving the design environment.

  • Workflow guidance across sketches, assemblies, CAM, sheet-metal.
  • Best-practice tips on manufacturability & performance trade-offs.
  • Source-backed answers pulled from official docs and guides.

Stage 2 — Vertical Copilot (UAV Focus)

70% done

A domain-aware copilot that generates and edits UAV parts/assemblies, validates flight metrics, and proposes improvements.

  • Natural language → UAV CAD (airframes, propulsion, mounts).
  • Embedded knowledge of aero, thrust, materials.
  • Simulation-in-the-loop validation (lift, thrust, stability).
  • Optimization suggestions (weight, prop placement, battery sizing).

Stage 3 — Universal Hardware Design Copilot

Next

Expand beyond UAVs to a general-purpose copilot spanning design → simulate → prototype → iterate.

  • Natural language to CAD for any domain.
  • AI-driven validation: stress, manufacturability, materials, cost.
  • Cross-domain intelligence for best practices.
  • Closed-loop workflow with AI in the loop.
