Luxxo CAD vs Adam: a standalone generator, or a copilot in your CAD?

Adam works inside the CAD, PLM and simulation tools an engineering team already runs. Luxxo CAD works on its own in the browser and returns a finished part package. Which one fits depends on whether you are adding AI to an existing toolchain or need parts without one.

The short answer

Choose Adam ifyour team already runs SOLIDWORKS, Creo, NX, Onshape or Fusion with PLM, and wants AI to edit existing models and drawings there
Choose Luxxo CAD ifyou are a workshop, a small team or one engineer who needs new parts and mechanisms as STEP, drawing and DXF, with nothing to install
Use both ifyou generate first drafts in Luxxo CAD, import the STEP and continue in your CAD with Adam

	Luxxo CAD	Adam
What it is	A web app that turns a description or hand sketch into a finished, checked part package	An AI engineer that works inside your existing CAD, PLM and simulation tools
Install	None. Runs in the browser	Web app, connected to the CAD tools you already use
Input	Text, a photo of a hand sketch, or both	Descriptions, plus your existing models, drawings, BOMs and specs
What you get	STEP, STL, DXF flat patterns, A3 drawing PDF and a parts list, with every design	Geometry and edits in your own CAD tool; 2D drawings from 3D models
2D drawing	Yes: three A3 sheets with views, sections, hole and weld tables and a measured report	Yes, created from your 3D models
Edit your existing CAD files	No. You take the STEP into your own CAD	Yes, through your connected CAD tool
CAD tools	Any, through STEP	Fusion, Inventor, Onshape, Creo, Solid Edge, SOLIDWORKS, NX and CATIA
Engineering checks	Solid validity, hole sizes, wall thickness, bearing life, gear undercut, part overlaps, all flagged in plain words	DFM checks and a loop to your simulation software
Price	5 designs free, then €9 for 10 designs or €49 a month for 100. Pay per design, no seats	Free plan; paid Pro, Max, team and enterprise plans

Where Adam is the better choice

Adam is built for engineering teams with an established toolchain. It reads geometry, BOMs, drawings and revisions from your CAD and PLM, edits existing models, creates drawings from them and connects to simulation software. If most of your work is changing parts that already exist, that is what Adam is for.

Where Luxxo CAD is different

Luxxo CAD needs no CAD licence, no PLM and no setup. A sentence or a hand sketch becomes a parametric model with the complete package a supplier asks for: STEP, a three-sheet A3 drawing with a measured report, DXF flat patterns with a cut list and a parts list with ISO standard parts. You pay per design instead of per seat, which suits workshops and occasional users.

What Luxxo CAD does not do

The files are STEP, not a native feature tree. Native Creo models are next on the roadmap.
It cannot open and edit a CAD file you already have; it designs new parts and changes its own designs.
Every design is an engineering draft. Complex mechanisms can come back marked “Needs review”, and an engineer should check dimensions, tolerances and materials before anything is made.

Questions

Can Luxxo CAD edit my SOLIDWORKS or Creo models like Adam?

No. Luxxo CAD designs new parts and changes its own designs. You import its STEP files into your CAD. Adam works inside your CAD tools and can edit existing models.

Do I need a CAD licence to use Luxxo CAD?

No. Everything runs in the browser, and the drawing, DXF and parts list come with every design. You only need CAD software if you want to keep editing the STEP file yourself.

How is pricing different?

Adam has a free plan and paid Pro, Max, team and enterprise plans. Luxxo CAD charges per design: 5 free, then €9 for 10 designs or €49 a month for 100.
