Conjure | AI-Powered CAD Tools

Overview

Conjure integrates with your CAD software through lightweight adapters. These adapters run inside your CAD application and communicate with the Conjure server to execute AI-generated commands.

Choose your CAD platform below for detailed installation instructions.

System Requirements

Minimum Requirements

Operating System: Windows 10/11, macOS 11+, or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+)
Internet Connection: Required for AI operations
Disk Space: 50-100MB for adapter installation
CAD Software: FreeCAD 0.20+ or Fusion 360

Note: A Conjure account and API key is required. Sign up for free if you haven't already.

FreeCAD Installation

Quick Install (Recommended)

The quickest way to install the FreeCAD adapter is using our installation script:

Linux / macOS

curl -sSL https://conjure.lautrek.com/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell)

iwr -useb https://conjure.lautrek.com/install.ps1 | iex

Manual Installation

Download the adapter: freecad-adapter-latest.zip
Extract the archive to your FreeCAD Mod directory:
- Linux: ~/.local/share/FreeCAD/Mod/conjure/
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/FreeCAD/Mod/conjure/
- Windows: %APPDATA%\FreeCAD\Mod\conjure\
Restart FreeCAD completely
Verify installation: Open FreeCAD and check View → Workbench - you should see "Conjure" in the list

Tip: If you don't see the Mod directory, create it manually. FreeCAD will automatically load any workbenches placed there.

Fusion 360 Installation

Important: Fusion 360 support is currently in beta. Some features may be limited compared to FreeCAD.

Download the add-in: fusion360-addin-latest.zip
Extract the archive to a permanent location on your computer (e.g., Documents/Fusion360Addins/Conjure/)
Open Fusion 360 and navigate to the Scripts and Add-ins panel:
- Click Tools → Add-Ins → Scripts and Add-Ins
- Or press Shift+S
Add the Conjure add-in:
- Click the + (green plus) button next to "My Add-Ins"
- Navigate to and select the extracted Conjure folder
Run the add-in:
- Select "Conjure" from the add-ins list
- Click Run
- Optionally, check "Run on Startup" to auto-start the add-in
Verify installation: You should see a Conjure panel in the Fusion 360 interface
