Get Started
Zoo Design Studio is a professional CAD platform enhanced by cutting-edge Machine Learning (ML) technologies, including innovative Text-to-CAD functionality. Instantly generate precise B-rep CAD models from simple text prompts, accelerating the design process dramatically. Zoo Design Studio is available as a free download for Mac, Windows, and Linux, and a test build is also available via desktop browser. Built on a proprietary geometry engine and supported by both the KittyCAD Design API and ML-ephant API, Zoo offers unparalleled CAD programmability and predictive design assistance.

How It Works

  • Download and Install: Download the Zoo Design Studio app for Mac, Windows, or Linux—no special setup required.
  • Access Free Credits: Start with a free plan that includes 40 free Text-to-CAD credits per month.
  • Explore Starter Parts: Begin your design journey using a library of pre-defined starter parts.
  • Text-to-CAD Generation: Enter simple text prompts to instantly create detailed B-rep CAD models, ideal for CNC milling and 3D printing.
  • Code CAD Designs with KCL:
    • Split code across multiple modules/files for organized development.
    • Use export and import to share functions between modules.
    • Employ parametric functions for flexible designs and optimization.
    • Instantly clone objects for consistent duplication.
    • Benefit from module-level parallel processing for speed.
    • Import whole modules as single-object variables.
  • Integrate APIs: Use KittyCAD and ML-ephant APIs for programmable CAD features and predictive ML-powered design workflows. APIs are RESTful and accept JSON requests.
