Your brief

A change worth delegating.

Add a 3 mm fillet to the outside edges and prepare a STEP export.

  1. Inspect the selected part
  2. Plan the edge changes
  3. Check geometry and export

You approve before anything changes.

From part edits to production paperwork.

How it works

A clear plan.
Then a careful pair of hands.

Made for the way
engineering work gets checked.

  1. 01

    Describe the job

    Give the assistant context, a target and the constraints that matter.

  2. 02

    Review the plan

    See the proposed steps before you approve any action.

  3. 03

    Let it work

    Approved actions happen in your CAD environment, with a stop control close at hand.

  4. 04

    Check the result

    Inspect the output and decide what is ready to save.

Your work. Your call.

Your judgement.
Always in the loop.

A few useful things to know

Before you
hand it a task.

Which CAD applications are first?

SOLIDWORKS, Logikal and Onshape are our launch targets. The beta starts with these workflow targets. Compatibility depends on your application, version and setup; each workflow needs checking. More CAD tools will follow as their workflows are tested.

Can it run without my approval?

The desktop is built around a visible plan, explicit approval and a stop control. You choose the task and review the proposed actions. You remain responsible for inspecting and accepting the result.

Do I need my own CAD licence?

Yes. MadeVia works alongside your CAD software. Your CAD application, licence and any required vendor account are separate from the MadeVia desktop seat.

What happens to my project data?

CAD actions run on your machine. With your own AI provider, the prompts and selected images you share go directly to that provider. The beta uses your own provider key; MadeVia-hosted AI is not included. The account and licence service does not receive your project screenshots or provider keys.

Can I use it today?

The beta is free with your own AI provider key. Download a published package for your platform, then sign in through the Happy Webs platform to enable it. Your provider charges separately for AI usage; MadeVia takes no beta subscription payment.
