Zoo

Love seeing agents doing CAD + FEA together

We've been extending Zoo's platform into toolpathing and CNC operations. Today, we bring our CNC service from a private alpha to a public beta. For the last year we've been developing our agentic CAM platform, running on our own machines. Zoo's CAM mirrors our CAD platform, a hybrid implementation where both traditional edits and agentic edits are built on top of our scripting language, KCL. Toolpaths are defined in KCL, dynamically linked to surfaces, bodies, and any other parameters. This is alongside the CAD definition in KCL, allowing a common source of truth both for designers and agentic workflows. Our CNC service's private alpha involved building automations on top of our CAM workflows to allow quick turn, high mix manufacturing in our prototype Factory 1.0., which will expand into Factory 2.0 Q1 2027. With our public beta, anyone can upload parts to our portal, which are reviewed by our auto-quoter and agentic toolpathing. For now we're manually reviewing those to verify their performance and accuracy before releasing quotes to customers. Once we find the auto-quoter and agentic toolpathing to be sufficiently accurate and comprehensive, we will stop manual review and automatically release quotes to customers. These quotes will include agentically generated design-for-manufacturability feedback, based on driving factors for machine run time, setup cost, and more. Our goal is context-aware design change recommendations to help our customers achieve faster/cheaper manufacturing. We will also be releasing this capability via Zookeeper, where you will be able to receive/accept quotes within your prompt workflows, and via our API for third part integration. Our CAM platform will be released publicly as an extension to our GUIs, KCL, and APIs next year. The only way to train an industrial superintelligence is to combine CAD, CAM, analysis, and more into one design-to-production platform. We do that today.
