How it works, what you get, where it fits. https://blacksmithai.org/blog/image-to-cad https://blacksmithai.org/blog/image-to-cad Wed, 21 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT A practical guide to image-to-CAD: how to photograph a physical part, which measurement to give the AI, and how to check the parametric model before you make it. https://blacksmithai.org/blog/stl-to-cad https://blacksmithai.org/blog/stl-to-cad Wed, 21 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT An STL file is triangles, not features. How AI turns a scan or mesh into an editable parametric CAD model, checks it against the file and exports STEP. https://blacksmithai.org/blog/vibe-coding-vs-vibe-cading https://blacksmithai.org/blog/vibe-coding-vs-vibe-cading Wed, 21 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT Vibe coding works because code has tests; physical parts do not. Five differences between vibe coding and vibe-CADing, and what a good tool does about them. https://blacksmithai.org/blog/replace-imported-plastic-parts-locally https://blacksmithai.org/blog/replace-imported-plastic-parts-locally Wed, 21 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT How a broken or hard-to-source plastic part becomes a CAD model and 20 locally made units in Egypt or the GCC, without a drawing, a mould or a minimum order. https://blacksmithai.org/vibe-cading https://blacksmithai.org/vibe-cading Wed, 21 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT Vibe-CADing is designing physical parts by stating intent and letting AI write the parametric CAD while you steer with real dimensions. What it is and how to do it.
