NEXUS CAD
Lightweight AI-Powered 3D Modeling for Engineers
NEXUS CAD is a browser-based 3D modeling tool built for engineers who need fast visualization without the $1,600/year Autodesk overhead. Powered by Three.js and AI, NEXUS CAD handles point clouds, industrial scene reconstruction, and ISA-5.1 compliant P&ID generation.
From photo-to-3D reconstruction to automated PFD generation via NEXUS Forge, this is the CAD tool the energy industry has been waiting for.
Key Capabilities
- 3D point cloud rendering and industrial scene modeling
- Photo-to-3D reconstruction with AI-assisted geometry decomposition
- NEXUS Forge pipeline: 3D scene to ISA-5.1 compliant P&IDs
- Instrument loop detection with 30+ ISA function codes
- Browser-based — runs on any machine with Chrome
- No subscription lock-in, no proprietary file formats
Current Status
NEXUS CAD v3.3 ULTRA is in active development with 18,000+ lines of production code. The Forge Pipeline (3D-to-PFD) is code-complete with 5 pipeline stages and 20+ regression tests.
