In 2025, CAD development has become something much larger than just a program for industrial designers and mechanical engineers. While it is used for industrial equipment, submarines, and airplanes, it is also used for much smaller projects. Things like ice cream machines, Ring Doorbell Cameras, and even Microbots are all designed through SOLIDWORKS CAD software. Aside from commercial applications, academics, DIY hobbyists, and even children utilize CAD software for their projects.
Fortunately, whether you use SOLIDWORKS software for your business or your spare time, the newest change to the software has an improvement for you. Recently, Aura AI was added to assist users with project creation. Aura is a generative AI and also a large language model, which means that it can only help with user queries, but actually has the capacity to help in project creation.
Also, this technology learns from the user’s behavior by nature, so when it provides responses they are tailored to the user asking the question. The generative portion of Aura enables you to turn any image into a CAD sketch and turn any CAD project into 2D drawings in real time. Ultimately, whether you have experience with AI or this is your first interaction, taking advantage of Aura AI in SOLIDWORKS is easy and can help you get ahead on your project.
