Everything you need to ship.

Overview

ORYND turns sketches, photos, and short text notes into editable parametric CAD — from input to a manufacturable STEP file in under a minute. You work with it in two places, but it's the same engine underneath.

Workspace is where you generate new parts from a photo, sketch, or text — and walk back through every step in a history tree. The Extension lives inside SolidWorks and turns repetitive sequences (exports, renames, hole patterns, cleanup) into one-click automations you can reuse.

Create an account

Both surfaces need a free ORYND account. You'll be asked to create one the first time you download — no card required.

1. Click Download anywhere on the siteA sign-up panel appears before the file is served.
2. Continue with Google, Apple, or emailTakes about ten seconds. Your files never leave your machine — the account is only for licensing and sync.
3. The download starts automaticallyYou land back on the download page with your build ready.

The same login works across Workspace, the Extension, and the web app.

System requirements

Workspace (desktop app)

Extension (SolidWorks add-in)

Install Workspace

1. Download the build for your OSFrom the download page — macOS .dmg, Windows .exe, or Linux .AppImage.
2. Open the installerOn macOS, drag ORYND to Applications. On Windows, run the signed installer. ~20–30 seconds.
3. Sign inUse the account you created at download. Your free tier is active immediately — 3 demo builds a day.

Your first build

Workspace accepts four kinds of input. Pick whichever matches how you're thinking right now.

1. Photo → CADDrop a photo of a part or a hand sketch. ORYND reads the geometry and rebuilds it as editable features.
2. Sketch → CADDraw rough lines in the canvas; ORYND infers dimensions and constraints.
3. Text → CADDescribe it: M3 enclosure, 80×60×24, vent slots on top. You get a parametric body back.
4. Vibe EngineeringDon't know the exact spec? Iterate by feel — nudge it bigger, rounder, thinner, and watch it rebuild.

Median time to a first export is about a minute. The result is real parametric geometry — not a mesh — so every dimension stays editable.

History tree

Every build keeps a full history tree — think "git for CAD." Each step is a node you can inspect, edit, or branch from.

Export

When the part is ready, export to a manufacturable format. Free-tier exports are watermarked; Pro removes the watermark and unlocks unlimited builds.

Install the add-in

The Extension is a signed SolidWorks add-in. Close SolidWorks before installing.

1. Download the Extension installerFrom the download page → Extension for SolidWorks. It's a small .exe.
2. Quit SolidWorksThe installer registers a COM add-in, so SolidWorks must be closed.
3. Run the installerAccept the prompt. It installs for your supported SolidWorks versions (2021–2026) automatically.

Enable in SolidWorks

If the ORYND panel doesn't appear after install, switch the add-in on manually.

1. Open SolidWorksStart it normally and open or create any part.
2. Go to Tools → Add-InsIn the menu bar: Tools ▸ Add-Ins…
3. Tick ORYND in both columnsCheck ORYND under both Active Add-ins and Start Up so it loads every session.
4. Find the ORYND tabA new ORYND tab appears in the CommandManager and a side panel docks on the right.

Your first prompt

The Extension builds automations from plain language. Describe the repetitive task and it writes the macro, runs it, and shows the result.

1. Open the ORYND panelClick the ORYND tab, then the prompt box.
2. Describe the taske.g. Export every sheet metal part as DXF into a /flat folder, or Drill M6×20 on all selected faces.
3. Wait 30s – 5 minORYND generates the automation. Complex ones take longer.
4. Review, then RunCheck what it will do, then run it against your model.

Good first prompts

Save automations

Happy with a result? Save it to Favorites and it becomes a one-click button you — or your whole shop — can reuse.

1. Click Save to FavoritesAfter a successful run, the automation is stored with a name you choose.
2. Re-run it any time, one clickNo prompting again — it runs the same steps, the same way.
3. Share with your teamOn Pro & team plans, push automations so everyone clicks the same button and gets the same result.

What it can & can't do

We'd rather you trust the tool than be surprised by it. Here's the honest scope today.

ORYND is a copilot, not a replacement for an engineer's judgement. Always review geometry before manufacturing.
