Desktop assistance for engineers and product designers. Give the repetitive work a brief, review the plan and keep the engineering decisions.
Made for the design desk

The work between an idea and a finished model often means repeating small, careful steps. Structura brings a task brief, a visible plan and controlled actions into the CAD environment you already use.
You can ask an advisory question, prepare a plan or explicitly start an approved task. Those are separate actions. Saving a brief or reviewing a plan does not start CAD work.
For example: “Add a 3 mm fillet to the outside edges of the selected part, preserve the mounting holes and prepare a STEP export.” The assistant should establish the selection, constraints and checks before acting.
That is an illustrative workflow. Availability depends on qualification of the application, version and task.
From brief to checked result
CAD work needs context: the active document, configuration, selection and units. The desktop is built to establish that context, limit the proposed change and check fresh evidence afterwards.
Name the file, the change and the constraints. Keep the scope clear before work begins.
See the proposed steps and resolve missing details. Approve the actions you want.
The desktop uses the approved route in your design environment. A stop control stays available.
Fresh evidence is checked after the change. You inspect the model and accept the work.
The first CAD workflows
SOLIDWORKS, Logikal and Onshape are the initial launch targets. The beta is a starting point for small tasks you can inspect in your own setup. Your CAD licence and vendor account remain separate from the MadeVia seat.

Explore the workflowYour work. Your provider choice.

With your own provider account, the prompts and selected images you share travel directly from the desktop to the provider you choose. Provider credentials use encrypted local storage protected by your operating system. The provider's terms govern how it handles that context.
Advisory questions can use the brief alone. Visual CAD tasks use fresh context from your environment. Decide what project information your practice permits you to share before starting a task.
We recommend GPT-6.1 Sol at medium reasoning as the practical starting point for this beta. Set a provider spending limit and test a small, reviewable task in your CAD setup.
Compare the recommended modelsIn beta.2, optional Clef-flash fast CAD inspections use text context to choose an approved read-only inspection. This setting is off by default and needs your own Cloudflare account and API token. You fund its usage through Cloudflare, alongside your main AI provider. Hosted MadeVia AI credits are not enabled in the beta.
Happy Webs manages your beta workspace and desktop access. Its account service does not receive project screenshots, prompts, provider keys or model responses. Hosted MadeVia AI credits are planned for later and are not included in the beta.
The engineering stays yours
Inspect the model after a change. Check dimensions, units, configurations, warnings and any effect on related features before accepting it. The assistant's result does not replace your design review.
You and your team retain responsibility for calculations, standards, material choices and deliverables. Release to manufacturing, quotations, orders and final exports need the approval appropriate to your workflow.
A task can pause when the scope is unclear or the result cannot be verified. That checkpoint is useful information for the engineer reviewing the work.
Free beta. Planned subscriptions.
The beta has no MadeVia subscription charge. Sign in through Happy Webs and bring your own AI key. Your provider bills you for its usage.
Future pricing starts at £49 per seat per month, excluding VAT. Optional plans will add a monthly MadeVia AI credit allowance. Any future subscription will be an explicit purchase through hosted Stripe checkout, separate from beta sign-up.
