https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/ DesignX Genie at work: parts, products, changes, checks and simulation. en https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/belt-idler-product/https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/belt-idler-product/Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000Product mode turns one sentence into a checked assembly. Genie designs the bracket and the flanged pulley, picks the 608 bearing and the M8 hardware from the catalogue, mates it so the pulley turns, and checks a full turn for clashes. https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/spur-gear-with-keyway/https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/spur-gear-with-keyway/Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000Module, tooth count, face width, bore, keyway and hub in one sentence. Genie builds a real involute spur gear, takes the keyway from the standard, and the kernel measures the bore, the keyway and the hub. https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/3d-printed-enclosure/https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/3d-printed-enclosure/Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000Give Genie the board's size and it designs the box and the lid around it, with print-friendly clearances, and tells you what it left out: screw posts, standoffs and connector cut-outs. https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/control-knob/https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/control-knob/Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000A small consumer part with a lot of details: the D-shaped bore that fits the shaft, the grip flutes, the rounded top and the pointer mark. Genie sizes the fits and tells you which details it didn't measure. https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/bench-vise-from-one-request/https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/bench-vise-from-one-request/Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000In Product mode Genie plans every part, builds each one, adds the standard hardware, mates the assembly and checks its motion for clashes. Here is a small bench vise, from one request to 25 parts. https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/sentence-to-part/https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/sentence-to-part/Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000Describe a part in plain words and Genie builds it feature by feature on a real CAD kernel, fills the gaps you left with standard sizes, and tells you what it checked. You can steer it while it works. https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/drawing-to-part/https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/drawing-to-part/Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000Attach a drawing, as an image or a PDF, and ask Genie to build it. It reads the views and the dimensions, models the part, and compares what it built with the drawing, size by size. https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/click-and-change/https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/click-and-change/Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000Pick a face on your part and tell Genie what should change. It finds the feature behind that face, edits it, and keeps everything that depends on it in step. https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/simulation-on-calculix/https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/simulation-on-calculix/Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000DesignX now runs engineering simulation on CalculiX, the open-source finite-element solver. Hold a face, load another, run, and read the safety factor on the part. Genie can set up and run studies for you. https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/checked-by-the-kernel/https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/checked-by-the-kernel/Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000Every answer Genie gives ends with what the CAD kernel actually measured on your part: the solids, the holes it found, the overall size. When something doesn't match what was asked, you see it. https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/gear-motor-24-parts/https://designxgenie-cad.web.app/blog/gear-motor-24-parts/Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0000The gear motor on our home page is a real DesignX model: a NEMA 23 stepper on a 5:1 planetary gearbox, 24 parts and 101 features, with smooth gear teeth that mesh, checked for clashes.
