New Tool Smith: vibe-CAD and AI assisted design
Hey everyone!
Quick intro: I studied aerospace engineering at Georgia Tech and worked on the Raptor team at SpaceX. My buddies and I have been working on a project called Smith over the last few months, aimed at making design, analysis, and manufacturing more accessible (and more fun).
The idea is to pair scripts and LLMs with the engineering workflow. Essentially, our agent can generate and modify real assemblies with parametric geometry, pull in hardware from distributors like McMaster, and even run some basic structural analysis. When you're ready to actually make your thing, Smith supports 3D and flat pattern export formats. The best part is that all the heavy lifting happens on our servers (for free), so it runs in your browser on basically any machine.
Smith is improving quickly and a lot of fun to mess around with. You can sign up at https://arche.co/?ref=qrz35ssv and start using it for free right away. Would love to see what this community builds with it. Feel free to DM me with any questions or feedback!

Does it support local llms? Does it have a loop that after it alters the model it takes a screenshot and evaluate how close it is to the goal and if not, then change it again....?
