Axion sees the live geometry, understands your drawings, checks standards and manufacturability, estimates cost and finds parts you have already designed. Built to connect your data and processes, so every part is right the first time.
Axis + Action = Axion
AI that models for you sounds great. Until you redo every detail it guessed.
Axion takes a different route. It is the engineer's partner right inside SOLIDWORKS: it reads how your model is built, what your drawing really says, what your shop can make and what it will cost. Fewer reworks, fewer questions from the shop floor, fewer complaints after production.
Not a picture of the part, but the live geometry: feature tree, how the part was built and how the assembly fits together. So it advises on a specific feature.
No OCR. Axion reads symbols and their links to geometry: it knows Ra 0.2 sits on the R17 cut-out of a sheet-metal part, where such a finish is needlessly expensive.
Ra 0.2 → R17 cut-outBased on your shop's capabilities, it flags features that are hard to make, needlessly expensive or likely to cause a complaint.
Estimates production cost from geometry, material and tolerances, refines it with your price lists, quotes or ERP data and proposes cheaper production routes.
It checks drawings, parts, assemblies and documents against technical standards and company rules and returns a clear OK / NOK table.
Views, scale, dimensions, BOM and flat pattern from your company templates. You only fine-tune.
Finds geometrically similar parts and mating parts in your database.
From a drawing or a brief, Axion builds the part with fully defined sketches and material. A fast start you then shape to your intent.
Most features run locally in the add-in, with no AI and nothing sent anywhere. The AI provider joins only in chat, with only what the question needs.
A task pane docked next to your model. No separate app, no browser tab.
Tools grouped the way engineers work: modeling and drawings, checks and calculations, help and contact.
Modeling, drawings, assemblies, standards and calculations, AI assistant. The overview adapts to the functions your company deploys.
Describe the task in your own words or attach a drawing. The AI provider is your choice.
Font size for the whole panel and company-specific rules, templates and data sources.
Unedited screenshots of Axion answers on production drawings and models. Only the part names are anonymized.

Before implementation we sit down together and define what Axion should do for you. Then we build exactly that.
You are not buying a fixed product you have to adapt to. Pick the functions you need now, add or change them as your team and processes evolve.
You define what the assistant should handle, which functions to deploy and which standards, templates and data it should use.
We assemble Axion from the chosen modules, add custom functions and connect it to your systems, price lists and part library.
Your engineers test it on real models and drawings. We tune rules and answers until the results match your practice.
Deployed on your SOLIDWORKS version. New functions can be added at any time, without starting over.
A large part of Axion runs directly in the add-in code, on your machine. Your chosen AI provider is involved only when you work in the chat.
Nothing leaves your computer
You stay in control
Indicative AI provider costs with Gemini, depending on usage and current provider pricing.
No. Modeling is one feature. The main value is connecting your data: reading live geometry and drawings, checking standards and manufacturability, estimating cost and reusing existing parts.
The one you use. Axion is a native add-in with its own panel and we build it for the SOLIDWORKS version running in your company.
No. There is no locked core. At the kick-off meeting you choose what Axion should do and we build it to match. Functions can be added, changed or removed later.
Very little. A typical manufacturability check prompt costs less than one euro cent. With Gemini, a user working with all functions, including AI modeling and edits, typically spends around €8–16 per month. Local functions run without AI and cost nothing extra.
Local features run entirely in the add-in. Only chat questions go to the AI provider you choose, with just the context the question needs. A local AI model without internet access is also an option.
Yes. Templates, sheet formats, materials, rules and data sources for checks are set up for your company, so results match how you work.
