Introduction to Synera's Advanced AI Module

Synera has released its Advanced AI module, powered by Tech Soft 3D's HOOPS AI, to enhance its agentic orchestration platform. This integration enables engineers to build agents that can autonomously automate complex engineering workflows by understanding CAD data. HOOPS AI provides the necessary CAD-aware intelligence foundation, allowing applications to interpret geometry, identify similar parts, and support various use cases.

Synera's Shape Intelligence Capabilities

The Advanced AI add-in brings CAD shape intelligence directly into Synera workflows, enabling users to create searchable collections of CAD parts and identify geometrically similar designs based on the shape of the part itself. This capability reduces duplicate work and connects previous engineering knowledge to new projects. The add-in makes geometric similarity available directly inside Synera workflows, supporting larger processes across design, simulation, costing, manufacturing assessment, and PLM/PDM-connected systems.
