IMSI Design, developer of CAD software solutions, has released TurboCAD 2024.1, including Platinum, Professional, Deluxe and Designer versions for Windows desktop PCs. The TurboCAD team has crafted this follow-up Service Pack.
This Service Pack features the integration of TurboCAD Copilot and over 50 tweaks and bug fixes.
The TurboCAD Copilot feature introduces an AI-driven companion that serves four primary purposes:
TurboCAD Copilot supports two levels: TurboCAD Copilot Help (free 1-year-subscription for all TurboCAD® variants) and TurboCAD Copilot Professional (available as 1-year-subsription service).
TurboCAD Copilot Help uses retrieval-augmented generation and documentation to search for content relevant to questions. TurboCAD Copilot Professional includes Help features and offers capabilities such as “Talk to your CAD Data”, general AI access, and Text to Image. It handles multilingual requests, such guiding through the initial steps of using TurboCAD.
“With the introduction of TurboCAD Copilot, we are entering a new era of CAD that allows the designer not only the ability to talk to documentation but to talk directly to their CAD data. Talk to CAD revolutionizes how AI can interact directly to data in the context of CAD objects, geometry, topology, parameters, and custom attributes. Designers can now ask questions that were previously constrained by traditional UI conventions—questions like ‘Examine my file for 3D printing suitability and suggest ways to reduce printing costs’—providing a new way to enhance quality and productivity,” says Tim Olson, vice president of IMSI Design”
