New AI App SOMA Uses Claude Agent for CAD Design

A new open-source application called SOMA has been developed to leverage AI agents, specifically Claude Code, for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tasks. The tool allows users to interact with Claude through a terminal, enabling it to generate Python code for CAD software like CadQuery. SOMA provides Claude with tools to check its own designs, such as measuring distances, running simulations, and rendering images, and allows users to provide feedback via screenshots and annotations. AI

IMPACT Enables AI-powered automation for CAD tasks, potentially streamlining design processes for engineers and hobbyists.
