Transfigure αLPHA is live – Yes, moar AI CAD

Give it a shot at xfgr.ai, and make some weird stuff. In particular try making some chainzz https://xfgr.ai/chainzz.png

Water / laser, simple single or double bend sheet metal brackets are do-able, technically 3-4 flange brackets are also do-able but we're working on the quality pipeline to understand what blocks these from completing (some don't, if that happens try again). Will add CNC and 3D print type shapes soon.

First person to sign up for the $200 refill and the 20th person to sign up for $10 refill gets αLPHA reloads for life*

---------

There is no LLM here, no groveling or complaining to the chatbot, no dependence on claude/chatgpt/gemini to write your openscad or cadquery code, none of that.

We're took the hard path to get AI to write 3D STEP directly because that is where things need to go if we want AI CAD to be efficient, and stop cocooning amateur hour free python CAD kernels or $30,000 CAD licenses with LLMs.

I just closed our pre-seed in May, and will be raising the Seed in July, to recruit and hire the team that will architect the first useful foundation model that writes engineer and DFM approved STEP graphs from images. We will train this foundation model with a bonkers Series A in 2027.
