A model built only for CAD
A compact foundation model—roughly 100M parameters—trained to understand engineering geometry and design sequence.
Reverse engineer any part.Then edit it like text.
Shape™ by Dimension turns dead CAD files into fully editable, parametric models—with semantic feature trees engineers can change and manufacture from.

No parameters.
No design history.

Trusted by manufacturing leaders
Industrial grade precision
Built for real production parts at real manufacturing complexity.
Intent, not surface-level geometry
Shape reconstructs sketches, extrusions, patterns, fillets, and their order into an editable feature tree.
CAD you can manufacture from
Recovered models are made for downstream engineering work—not for a convincing screenshot.
Dead file in.
Editable model out.
A CAD file without parameters can only be rebuilt. Shape revives it, then lets you change it by describing what you need.
Recover the intent, not just the shape.
Point Shape at a static CAD file. It reconstructs the full parametric feature tree—the design sequence, not just the visible geometry.

Edit
Change it in plain language.
Describe the change and Shape applies it inside the recovered parametric context instead of redrawing from scratch.

Legacy parts shouldn't slow new ones.
When one recovery ties up a senior engineer for weeks, every downstream program waits.
