Tech Soft 3D has launched HOOPS AI, a framework made to enable AI and machine learning (ML) for CAD data.
HOOPS AI unifies CAD access, dataset preparation, and encoding, providing a path from raw CAD data to production-ready machine learning models. HOOPS AI is a toolkit that offers an environment to prepare data, manage experiments, and develop ML models at scale.
“HOOPS AI represents a major leap forward for organizations looking to finally harness artificial intelligence for 3D CAD,” says Gavin Bridgemann, chief technology officer, Tech Soft 3D. “It provides a complete, reproducible pipeline that makes machine learning workflows with CAD data both practical and scalable.”
Tech Soft 3D seeks to unlock the combination of AI and CAD data for its existing 750+ independent software vendor partners and the engineering industry. Explore the HOOPS AI product page and sign up for a technical demo here.
HOOPS AI combines CAD access, large-scale dataset preparation, and optimized encoding into a single framework. HOOPS AI builds on the foundation of HOOPS Exchange, a CAD import/export library, offering direct, high-fidelity access to 30+ file formats, including geometry, topology, assemblies, PMI, and metadata, through a Python API.
From here, HOOPS AI automates dataset preparation at scale, with tools for visualization, segmentation, and cleaning, plus encoders that convert CAD models into ML-ready formats. It manages ingestion, versioning, and experiment tracking to ensure reproducible results, all supported by built-in visualization
Every stage of the machine learning lifecycle is covered within HOOPS AI. Storage and logging utilities capture the entire workflow, enabling traceability and experimentation repeatability.
