- Zoo Design Studio v1 introduces a new geometry engine for mechanical CAD, addressing modern needs like real-time ML workflows and GPU acceleration.
- Key features include GPU-accelerated Surface/Surface Intersection (SSI), ML integration that retains editable B-rep surfaces, and the KittyCAD Language (KCL) for code-backed CAD.
- The app supports B-rep solids over meshes for precision engineering, with exports to formats like STEP, glTF, and STL.
- Version 1 ships with primitives, sketch constraints, assemblies, and a free tier offering 40 Text-to-CAD credits monthly.
- Future roadmap includes Constraints 2.0, engine-side caching, conversational CAD Copilot, and performance enhancements.
- Zoo Design Studio is available for macOS, Windows, Linux, and web, with a special launch discount for the Pro tier.
