openIE CAD

openIE CAD is a CAD/ECAD platform built for AI agents to design real hardware (geometry, PCB routing, optics, thermal simulation, and manufacturing) through one MCP endpoint, rendered in a Rust + WASM + WebGPU browser viewer, on a single verifiable document (the UDD).

Agent-native CAD · an OpenIE project of the Charlot Lab

State of the art

Where this sits.

CAD was built for humans clicking in desktop apps; agents cannot drive it, and the formats are siloed and proprietary. openIE CAD makes hardware design agent-native and browser-native, with no render farm and no vendor lock-in, so an agent can move from intent to manufacturable files. Part of Open Interface Engineering.
