Chudware documentation

Choose an access path, build your first part, and move through modeling, reverse engineering, collaboration, and manufacturing with practical guides.

Build something real

These guides follow the shape of an engineering project: choose browser or desktop access, create constrained geometry, assemble parts, rebuild from source evidence, prepare manufacturing work, and keep the project traceable.

If this is your first session, choose the Windows desktop preview, Linux desktop preview, or macOS browser guide, then continue to your first part.

Rebuild from source evidence

The reverse engineering guide covers photos, video, scan meshes, datasheets, and library records, with explicit scale confirmation, dimension review, approximate-result labels, deviation, and provenance.

Use the copilot as a collaborator

The AI copilot can inspect and change the open design, but it does not replace engineering judgment. Review the feature tree, measurements, and highlighted changes before accepting the result.
