I've been doing a lot of 3D design in Codex GPT 5.5 (I found Opus 4.7 wasn't as good - haven't experimented much with 4.8 or Fable).
OpenSCAD is a parametric CAD programming language, and the models know it well.
The biggest challenge is communicating words like "inside" and "above" to the model - inevitably it's idea of which direction is which is often different.
I can't say I've done anything very hard, but for things like ESP32 cases, or parametric rod connectors it is great.
You can do things like "add snap connectors" and it'll do a great job.
Ux on mobile is very bad. First you lure me with a prompt, but when I type it it's lost and I'm redirected to login page. Ok, I signed up, logged in. On mobile the progress panel is 1cm wide, I didn't notice and I set the same prompt now I have 2 generating and no way to cancel. You (correctly) started title of this post with the word "generate" that is your core feature, everything else I see on mobile is unrelated bullshit, including the carousel, including the "choose your role" dialog. On mobile there should be prompt (50% of screen real estate), a generate button, output/progress (50% of screen real estate) and hamburger button that hides everything else.
The generation haven't finished yet, I will report when it finishes to see if core feature is even usable.
Mobile is tricky, since such design software are very difficult to use on a small mobile screen. We are looking into it though. How was the generation?
Tried two very open ended prompts: "Home robot" and "Jet engine". First one returned only two plates connected with 4 rods, second model did not produce any 3d model at all.
Curious whether some hierarchical modeling could be applied here.
Thank you for the feedback! we will consider them both for the website and the product. We have several examples in the product, we will push them to be present on the webpage
I got enough feel from scrolling down. But only just. They need more demoage for sure. Good demo for AI IMO is do 50 canned prompts with cached answers running at simulated speed. Zero AI cost to demo and can be made available without login.

Typed out an entire prompt on the homepage, hit enter, was redirected to sign-up & completed it.
My few hundred word prompt wasn't saved/persisted. :'(
Same. Hated it so much.

It's not tricky. I literally told you how it should look like on mobile.
Still generating, 53 minutes.

Blog, youtube channel and landing page is kinda sparse when it comes to examples.
And I'm not going to sign up just to test it.
I agree with the other ones, have 20 cached examples or at least some videos that show the process from start to finish.

It actually works pretty well.
Great! what did you design?
Larp.
Like it.
Not signing up if there isn't even a hero animation showing what it does.

amazing! what are you designing?
