3D design for everyone
The AI copilot that CADs like a human

Our revolutionary foundation model creates parametric 3D models with full feature trees, editable in your favorite CAD package

// THE PROBLEM

For decades CAD has been an incredibly powerful tool, with a very steep learning curve that prevented millions from building their dreams.

// THE VISION

Backflip exists to give everyone the power to create the world around them. We're building a future with the freedom to design at the speed of thought.

SCAN #001

Building the foundational intelligence to bridge the gap between digital design and physical reality. Precise. Logic-driven. Built for the next century of CAD.

// THE PROBLEM

For decades, CAD has been a bottleneck – a manual, rigid process that hasn’t kept pace with the speed of software. The world is made of atoms, but the tools we use to shape them are stuck in the past.

For decades CAD has been an incredibly powerful tool, with a very steep learning curve that prevented millions from building their dreams.

// THE VISION

Backflip exists to automate the tedious and unlock the impossible. We are replacing manual geometry reconstruction with autonomous AI, giving engineers the freedom to design at the speed of thought.

// CORE_TOOL

Digitize the world: 3D scan to editable feature tree

3D scanners create incredibly accurate meshes that take hours to manually rebuild in CAD. Backflip does it in seconds.

Our 3D Scan-to-CAD tool automatically translates scans and other mesh files into CAD geometry that feels like you built it yourself: fully parametric 3D models built with a familiar feature tree, sketch constraints, and external references that just make sense.

// 3D_INTELLIGENCE

Built on the world's first foundation model for CAD

Our AI copilot natively thinks in CAD, because we set out to do the hard thing first — training an AI foundation model that intuitively understands 3D geometry and how engineers construct it.

Backflip doesn't just build geometry that looks like CAD. It reasons through a construction strategy, using the same operations you would: Extrude, Revolve, Pattern, Chamfer, Fillet, and more.

// WORKFLOW_INTEGRATION

Your existing CAD stack,
accelerated

Changing tools is painful. With Backflip, you don't have to.

Our CAD copilot works inside the CAD software you already use, so you can design faster without switching tools.

Backflip is currently available via our add-in to Autodesk Fusion and as a standalone web app, with additional plug-ins for Onshape and other CAD software coming soon.

// CYBERSECURITY_POSTURE

Security built for enterprise data

We encrypt customer data in transit and at rest, separate access by organization, and never use enterprise data to train our models.

Backflip is actively working towards completing a SOC2 Type II audit later this year.

Built by people who know hardware

Our team comes from epic backgrounds.

We've invented carbon fiber 3D printing, and saw customers deploy those parts in space and at the bottom of the ocean. Built autonomous driving systems. Trained production ML models. Designed precision hardware for mission-critical applications.

We know what it takes to ship physical products and the tools engineers need to accelerate their work.
