    Hey HN — I’m Anthony, building WebCad, a free browser-based CAD tool with AI to speed up the repetitive stuff.

    What it is

    CAD in the browser (no installs, no GPU workstation)

    AI-assisted modeling helpers (fast iterations, repetitive edits, quick starting geometry)

    Export STEP (.stp) so you can open the result in SolidWorks / Fusion 360 / Inventor / etc.

    Why we made it A lot of people (students, makers, contractors) don’t have access to “proper” CAD licenses or they’re stuck on locked-down computers. We wanted something you can open anywhere and still get a clean STEP output.

    It’s free We’re currently pushing free access to maximize feedback + user acquisition.

    If you try it, I’d love blunt feedback:

    What’s the first feature that would make you switch from your current CAD?

    What’s the #1 workflow you wish AI handled (constraints, feature patterns, hole/thread rules, etc.)?
