What happened
WOGO began offering Hacadly AIエージェント on 11月5日, combining ChatGPT and Claude with its own 2D drawing and 3D processing technology to handle drawing reading, model generation, checking and correction from conversational instructions.
Why it matters
The service lets users generate 3D models from 2D drawings and rebuild editable features from history-less CAD data through conversation, potentially reducing manual CAD work for mechanical designers.
WHO IT HITSMechanical designers and CAD engineers who work with 2D drawings and 3D models may be able to automate repetitive drawing interpretation and model reconstruction tasks, though the service's current evaluation is limited to FreeCAD and individual support is required for other CAD software.

WOGO's launch of Hacadly AIエージェント on November 5 marks a step toward automating mechanical design tasks that have traditionally required manual interpretation of 2D drawings and CAD data. The service integrates general-purpose AI models like ChatGPT and Claude with WOGO's proprietary 2D drawing and 3D processing technology, allowing users to issue conversational instructions to read drawings, generate models, and perform checks and corrections.
The benchmarks WOGO conducted highlight the potential of this specialized approach. In tests covering 23 parts across sheet metal, cutting, and fabrication, Hacadly achieved a 100.0% restoration success rate, more than double the rates of Claude with and without tool integration. For CAD data lacking feature history, Hacadly successfully reconstructed editable features for all 20 parts, and its editing evaluations passed 33 of 34 cases, suggesting that the generated feature structures are practical for dimension changes and reuse.
Currently evaluated on FreeCAD, the service will support add-in integration for parametric CAD and individual environments, indicating that broader CAD software compatibility may require tailored implementation. This launch reflects a growing effort to apply AI agents to specialized engineering workflows, where domain-specific processing can significantly enhance general-purpose AI capabilities.
