Describe any hardware product in plain English. Get a working 3D prototype. Export and build it.
ZiroEDA is an AI-powered hardware design platform that lets anyone — regardless of engineering background — design, simulate, and export physical products using natural language.
"It's not just a 3D model — it's a working virtual prototype."
Think of it as Lovable for hardware. You type what you want, the AI builds it in 3D, you validate it works, and then you export the files to manufacture it.
- 🤖 AI-Powered 3D Generation — Describe any physical product in plain English and get a parametric 3D model
- 🎛️ Live Parameter Controls — Tweak dimensions, sizes, and proportions with interactive sliders
- 🔄 Real-time Preview — See your model render instantly in the browser using WebAssembly
- 📦 Export Formats — Download as
.STL(3D print ready) or.SCADsource files - 🌐 Fully Browser-Based — No installs needed, powered by OpenSCAD WASM
- 📚 Library Support — BOSL, BOSL2, and MCAD parametric libraries included
Simple physical products with no electronics. Pen holders, phone stands, vases, enclosures, organizers. Describe → Generate → Tweak → Export STL.
AI selects standard hardware modules (Arduino, ESP32, sensors, displays) from a curated component library and places them into 3D space. The AI writes embedded firmware. Generates both the enclosure and the bill of materials.
"Make a desk device that shows temperature and humidity"
→ AI picks: ESP32 + DHT22 sensor + small OLED display
→ Positions them correctly in 3D space
→ Designs a tight custom enclosure around them
→ Writes the Arduino firmware
→ Exports STL + code
Before building anything, simulate the product. Press virtual buttons. See the screen update. Rotate and zoom every component. Validate the AI-built product works — then export.
