New AI Agent Learns to Use CAD to Create 3D Objects from Sketches

Researchers at MIT have developed a novel AI agent capable of generating three-dimensional objects using computer-aided design (CAD) directly from user sketches. Introduced as the virtual “VideoCAD” tool in an MIT News announcement on November 19, 2025, this technology marks a significant advancement in design automation.

This AI agent holds the potential to dramatically boost designer productivity by streamlining the creation of complex 3D models, allowing for rapid visualization of ideas. Furthermore, it is expected to serve as an intuitive and accessible design learning tool for engineers and students who find traditional CAD software challenging. The advent of this innovative AI is set to unlock new possibilities in the fields of design and engineering.
