Adam - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Adam is a cloud-based AI CAD copilot built for hardware engineering teams, from individual mechanical engineers to enterprise product development organizations. Accessible via the web at adam.new, it accepts plain-language requests to execute cross-tool engineering work spanning prompt-driven CAD edits, BOM management, supplier sourcing, RFQ drafting, ECO preparation, design review packaging, and manufacturer handoff assembly. Rather than replacing existing toolchains, Adam operates as a connective layer across CAD platforms (Onshape, Autodesk Fusion), PLM systems (including Arena), spreadsheets, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, and Google Drive, coordinating work across these tools within a single delegated task interface. All outputs are staged for human review before anything is finalized, sent, or written to production data.

Under the hood, Adam runs background workers in private sandboxed Linux environments hosted on AWS. These workers execute code, browse the web, and write files asynchronously, allowing large jobs to fan out across parallel sub-agents and roll up to a single result without blocking the main chat interface. Persistent task history keeps all produced files searchable and resumable, and tasks can be handed off to teammates at any step. The platform also includes two specialized workspaces: a conversational 3D mesh editor (Creative Mode) that generates and refines printable geometry across iterative prompts, and a text-to-CAD workspace (CADAM) that produces STEP, STL, and OBJ exports from plain-language descriptions, extending access to 3D modeling for non-CAD-expert users. Enterprise deployments include SSO, audit trails, and governance controls. User geometry, drawings, BOMs, and correspondence remain in the user's own accounts and PLM systems and are not used to train models.
