Formas Announces Cartesian, An AI 3D Modeling Tool That Turns Notes Into Editable Models
Cartesian targets the early design step, where a layout has to become something concrete before anyone commits to it, and it keeps the output in file formats CAD users already work in.

Formas, which develops AI-native design tools, announced Cartesian, a tool that generates 3D models of buildings and furniture from word instructions, sketches, photos, floor plans, scans, or existing 3D models. Generated parts stay individually editable, so a chair, table, or plant can be changed on its own. Output opens in SketchUp and Rhino, and sample 3DM and STL files are downloadable. Preview registration is open by waitlist.
Formas is taking waitlist signups for Cartesian ahead of a preview, with no release date given. The tool accepts mixed input: a written instruction, a photo, a floor plan, a sketch, a scan, or an existing 3D model, and it builds the model to match.
Editing happens at the part level. In Formas' restaurant example, a chair, a table, or a houseplant can be selected and moved without regenerating everything around it. The company says the results can be opened in SketchUp and Rhino, and it offers sample output as 3DM or STL files, including desktop lamps, mesh benches, and dining kitchen layouts.
