It is to **produce a robust parametric model that behaves like an engineer built it.** ## What Zoo’s approach unlocks Because CAD-first systems generate parametric B-rep directly, output is usable in the workflows that matter: - **Iteration without rework:** change a dimension, regenerate, and continue. -- **Manufacturing-ready geometry:** stable faces and edges that CAM expects. -- **Downstream compatibility:** move into machining, tolerancing, and inspection without betting on fragile conversion. +- **Manufacturing-ready geometry:** stable faces and edges that CAM tooling expects. +- **Downstream compatibility:** move into machining and inspection without betting on fragile mesh or voxel conversion. - **Intent-preserving models:** the model captures why geometry is shaped that way through constraints, dimensions, and feature structure. [Zookeeper](https://zoo.dev/docs/zoo-design-studio/zookeeper), our CAD agent, uses AI to generate and modify parametric B-rep CAD models through KCL.
