Parametric features
Pad, pocket, hole, fillet, chamfer, loft, sweep, shell, mirror, and linear and polar patterns, all recorded in a history tree you can rewind, reorder, and suppress.
AxiomCAD features
The full feature list.
This page is audited against the AxiomCAD codebase itself, so every line on it exists in the software today. The launch services still being finished live in the roadmap section at the bottom, labeled as exactly that.
Design core
Parametric, history-driven modeling on a real B-Rep kernel.
Constraint-driven sketching
A 2D sketcher with thirteen constraint types, from distance and angle to tangent, symmetric, and concentric. Change a dimension and the solver re-verifies the whole sketch.
Solid booleans + NURBS
Union, intersect, and difference on solids, plus NURBS lofting, sweeping, and surface interpolation for the shapes extrusions can't reach.
Design tables
Drive a family of parts from a parameter table instead of maintaining ten copies of one model.
Assemblies + motion
Parts that know how they fit together, and what still moves.
Nine mate types
Coincident, distance, angle, parallel, perpendicular, tangent, slot, and hinge mates, solved in dependency order across the whole assembly.
Degrees-of-freedom analysis
See exactly what mobility remains after constraints apply, so an under-constrained joint shows up before the prototype does.
Interference detection
Geometric collision checks between parts, so what you machine actually mates.
Exploded views + motion studies
Keyframed motion with constraint interpolation, and exploded views for documentation.
Electronics
Schematic to fab output in the same file as the enclosure.
Schematic capture + ERC
Sheets, nets, and an electrical rule checker that catches unconnected pins, shorts, floating inputs, and power-pin conflicts before layout.
PCB layout
Layer stackups, footprints, copper zones with via stitching, and net classes carrying width, clearance, and via rules.
Routing
A multi-layer autorouter with bus routing and serpentine length tuning for matched pairs. Interactive push-and-shove is on the roadmap; the router today is batch-style.
Design rule checking
Thirteen rule classes: clearances, annular rings, drill sizes, silk clearance, copper slivers, acid traps, differential-pair skew, and more.
KiCad library import
Parse .kicad_sym symbols and .kicad_mod footprints directly, so the entire KiCad ecosystem is your starting library.
Circuit simulation
A SPICE-class solver: DC and AC sweeps, transients with stiff-stable integrators, noise, pole-zero, and harmonic balance, with diodes, BJTs, MOSFETs, op-amps, and transmission lines.
Signal integrity
IBIS-AMI equalization (FFE, DFE, CTLE), Touchstone S-parameter import, vector fitting, eye diagrams with bathtub curves, and power-delivery-network impedance analysis.
Simulation
The analyses that usually cost a second license, in the same canvas.
Structural FEA
Static stress, modal, and buckling analysis with plasticity, contact, and shell elements, solved with a multigrid-preconditioned sparse solver and error estimation.
Thermal
Steady-state and transient conduction with convection and radiation boundaries, including heat sourced straight from your PCB's component dissipation.
Fluid dynamics
Incompressible Navier-Stokes with k-epsilon and k-omega SST turbulence models and a coupled energy equation.
Multiphysics coupling
Electrical to thermal to mechanical in one loop: Joule heating feeds the temperature field, temperature feeds strain and resistance, and the coupling iterates to convergence.
Optics
Sequential ray tracing with aspheres, polarization, real glass catalogs, aberration analysis, a lens optimizer, and Monte Carlo manufacturing tolerancing.
Generative design
Tell it the loads; let it find the shape.
Topology optimization
Density-based optimization with multiple weighted load cases, volume targets, and checkerboard-suppressing filters, driven by an industry-standard MMA optimizer.
Lattice generation
Parametric lattice infill for parts that need stiffness without the mass.
Manufacturing
From model to machine without an export detour.
CAM toolpaths
Pocketing (zigzag, spiral, trochoidal, constant-engagement HSM), surfacing (raster, waterline, pencil, scallop), and a full drilling suite from peck to back-boring, plus turning and 2D sheet nesting.
G-code post-processor
Configurable arc modes, canned cycles, tool changes, and unit systems, with a tool library carrying real speeds and feeds per material.
Stock simulation
Watch material come off the stock before the machine does it for real.
Architecture
Buildings are assemblies too.
Building modeling
Rooms, walls, doors, windows, roofs, stairs, and columns with floor-plan generation and structural beam and column sizing.
Building physics
Daylighting via ray tracing, energy and HVAC load estimation, and room acoustics with RT60 prediction.
MEP + IFC export
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing layout, exported as Industry Foundation Classes for BIM interoperability.
Interop + rendering
Open what you have; hand off what the shop needs.
Imports
STEP with full B-Rep reconstruction, DXF, STL with mesh repair, KiCad libraries, and Touchstone S-parameters.
Exports
STEP, DXF, Gerber with IPC-D-356 netlists, glTF, 3MF, USD, OBJ, PDF and SVG drawings, and G-code. If a fab or a renderer needs it, it's probably on this list.
Path-traced rendering
A physically-based path tracer with PBR materials for product shots, next to a fast rasterized viewport for daily work, with FEA and CFD results painted as contour fields.
Materials library
Mechanical, thermal, optical, and electrical properties with temperature dependence, from metals to composites.
Studio experience
One window, five disciplines.
Multi-domain workspaces
Schematic, PCB, mechanical, architecture, and assembly modes in one app, with dockable panels, a command palette, and a minimap.
Claude-backed copilot
A design assistant wired to the Anthropic API: ask for a transistor for 5V logic and it searches the component library with your design constraints, through a structured tool interface. Falls back to rule-based suggestions offline.
In development
Arriving with launch, not in the build yet.
Cloud sync + version history
Per-project, opt-in sync with restorable revisions. Ships as a service with the paid launch.
Team review
Markups, approvals, and threaded comments per feature (Studio tier).
Interactive routing
Push-and-shove trace editing on top of the existing autorouter.
