FORM GUIDES
Guides for creating CAD
with your AI assistant.
Practical guides to AI CAD. Understand the tools, write a better brief, and keep working on what you make.
01 / THE FOUNDATIONS
Connect FORM and build your first model.
Create editable CAD from a written brief.
Turn a written brief into editable CAD with FORM and your AI assistant. Learn the workflow, supported file formats, and what to check before exporting.
Read the guide 02CONNECT YOUR AGENTConnect your AI assistant to FORM.
Connect an AI assistant to FORM’s hosted CAD MCP endpoint. Set up authentication, inspect a project, and troubleshoot the live browser workflow.
Read the guide 03RHINO WORKFLOWSRhino MCP: choose where your AI should model.
Understand Rhino MCP options, how FORM’s browser CAD workflow differs, and which geometry stays editable when you export a 3DM file to Rhino.
Read the guide02 / IN PRACTICE
Write prompts, revise models, and export files.
What makes an AI CAD benchmark useful?
What does an AI CAD benchmark measure? Evaluate the task, geometry, editability, tool setup, and reproducible evidence behind each score.
Read the article 02PRACTICAL GUIDEWrite a CAD brief your AI can actually check.
A practical text-to-CAD prompt template with dimensions, coordinates, a mounting-plate example, revision instructions, and a model inspection checklist.
Read the article 03INTERCHANGEFrom FORM to Rhino: what a 3DM file keeps.
Export a FORM model to Rhino as 3DM. See which objects remain NURBS or BRep, which become meshes, and what to check before continuing your design.
Read the article 04MODEL STUDY / 001A chair, 29 parts, and a file you can inspect.
Inspect FORM’s wooden-chair CAD example, download its editable source, and see what the MCP geometry checks prove and what they do not.
