Congratulations on the launch. The propeller demo looks good :) BTW, customising gears (which are then laser cut from sheet metal) is also a common request from untechnical people who need CAD help.
How do you differentiate from other open source AI CAD solutions? I’ve also had a good experience with Claude Code and CadQuery, which is a Python toolkit for generating CAD designs based on OpenCascade. I.e. what’s your moat?
And given that you’re YC funded .. what’s your plan for millions in MRR?
I’m asking because I would like to launch some useful open source tools myself (but for PIM, not CAD) and I just can’t figure out how to make open source sustainable, let alone profitable enough for hockey stick revenue growth. Any tips? Book recommendations?
To be completely honest CADAM is not at all a revenue driver for us. The majority of our customers are on our flagship app: https://adam.new/ which uses OpenCascade and allows you to connect to your CAD, PLM & PDM tools.
We built CADAM largely to give back to community and support a tool for hobbyists and individuals.
