Hestus, Inc.: Seed
AI-powered CAD software that automates repetitive mechanical design work for hardware engineers.
The business
Hestus is developing AI for mechanical engineering, starting with a copilot inside Autodesk Fusion that can complete CAD sketches with constraints and dimensions. Its broader “Mechanical Intelligence” ambition is to capture engineering judgment, connecting geometry to product and manufacturing constraints. more than 5,000 engineers use its tools across drones, robots, industrial equipment and consumer products.
