// DRAWING_TO_CAD
Transform legacy engineering drawings into modern 3D CAD
Decades of engineering knowledge lies buried in drawing archives. Unlock it with Backflip.
Drawing to CAD inspects the geometry and dimensions in an engineering drawing and reconstructs it as a parametric 3D model. Built with a full feature tree editable in your CAD software.
// SCAN_TO_CAD
Digitize the world: 3D scan to editable feature tree
3D scanners create incredibly accurate meshes that take hours to manually rebuild in CAD. Backflip does it in seconds.
Our 3D Scan-to-CAD tool automatically translates scans and other mesh files into CAD geometry that feels like you built it yourself: fully parametric 3D models built with a familiar feature tree, sketch constraints, and external references that just make sense.
// PHOTO_TO_CAD
Point, snap, CAD
The fastest path to a CAD model is already in your pocket: your phone camera.
Photo to CAD rebuilds physical objects as fully parametric 3D models from just a few photos. One known dimension and Backflip scales everything to match, and you get a model with real sketches, constraints, and features.
// 3D_INTELLIGENCE
Built on the world's first foundation model for CAD
Our AI copilot natively thinks in CAD, because we set out to do the hard thing first — training an AI foundation model that intuitively understands 3D geometry and how engineers construct it.
Backflip doesn't just build geometry that looks like CAD. It reasons through a construction strategy, using the same operations you would: Extrude, Revolve, Pattern, Chamfer, Fillet, and more.
// WORKFLOW_INTEGRATION
Your existing CAD stack,
accelerated
Changing tools is painful. With Backflip, you don't have to.
Our CAD copilot works inside the CAD software you already use, so you can design faster without switching tools.
Backflip is currently available via our add-in to Autodesk Fusion and as a standalone web app, with additional plug-ins for Onshape and other CAD software coming soon.
// CYBERSECURITY_POSTURE
Security built for enterprise data
We encrypt customer data in transit and at rest, separate access by organization, and never use enterprise data to train our models.
Backflip is actively working towards completing a SOC2 Type II audit later this year.
Built by people who know hardware
Our team comes from epic backgrounds.
We've invented carbon fiber 3D printing, and saw customers deploy those parts in space and at the bottom of the ocean. Built autonomous driving systems. Trained production ML models. Designed precision hardware for mission-critical applications.
We know what it takes to ship physical products and the tools engineers need to accelerate their work.
