Backflip AI

Product details from official sources

Backflip AI converts legacy engineering content into editable 3D CAD. Its Drawing-to-CAD inspects the geometry and dimensions in an engineering drawing and reconstructs it as a parametric 3D model with a full feature tree; Scan-to-CAD translates scans and mesh files (STL, OBJ, GLB, GLTF, PLY) into CAD geometry in seconds; and Photo-to-CAD rebuilds physical objects as parametric 3D models from a few phone photos, scaling everything from one known dimension. It is built on what the vendor calls the world's first foundation model for CAD, reasoning through construction operations like Extrude, Revolve, Pattern, Chamfer, and Fillet. It works inside existing CAD software via an Autodesk Fusion add-in and as a standalone web app, with Onshape and other plugins coming soon. Pricing is credit-based: new accounts get 50 credits free (no credit card); Builder $20/month (100 credits), Pro $50/month (300), Business $380/month (2500), custom Enterprise; Fast Mode jobs cost 10 credits and Thinking Mode 50; monthly credits do not roll over.
