Hestus AI Aims to Eliminate the Most Monotonous Part of CAD
Now available for Autodesk Fusion, this AI copilot intelligently anticipates and applies sketch constraints and dimensions, letting you focus on creative design – not digital housekeeping.
The spark of a new design concept is exhilarating. Translating that concept into a final, manufacturable part? That’s where the tedious work begins, pulling you away from the complex challenges you’re meant to solve.
We all know the mantra: always fully constrain your sketch. But in practice, this means a marathon of clicks to apply dozens of obvious relationships. It’s so monotonous that crucial constraints or dimensions are sometimes skipped, leaving sketches unfinished – a compromise between best practice and a looming deadline. What if you could eliminate that compromise?
Introducing Hestus, an intelligent AI copilot for CAD that automates the monotony. Hestus integrates directly into your design environment to handle the repetitive tasks, allowing you to work faster, more efficiently, and with the rigor your designs demand.
Our initial release, Sketch Helper, focuses on sketching, turning a click-intensive chore into an intuitive process. Sketch Helper, which was previously covered back in June by All3DP’s Carolyn Schwaar, is currently available for Autodesk Fusion.
With Sketch Helper, Hestus instantly anticipates and proposes your next move, such as a constraint you were about to manually apply or a missing dimension in your sketch, letting you fully define your sketches in a fraction of the time, without getting in your way.
It enables the engineers to preview and accept suggestions with a single click or keystroke, accomplishing what would have taken dozens of precise mouse movements to complete. Hestus has recently released a major release of Sketch Helper which takes the productivity boost to the next level. It can make engineers 2.5x faster while sketching.
Hestus isn’t here to design for you; it’s here to accelerate your process. We believe the engineer should always be in control. Our focus is on automating the repetitive tasks – not the creative ones – so you can spend more time solving complex problems and less time on digital housekeeping.
Boost your productivity, reduce errors, and get back to the parts of your job you love.
