About

Advance Steel is a Dedicated Steel detailing package, the Software tool is a 3D modelling environment that then translates into a document management system. The 3D model consists of intelligent structural objects such as Beams, Plates, Bolts and Welds, with these combined together using the Parametric Connection tools that can be propagated within the model via connection copying tools, the model then becomes the hub for the creation of General Arrangements, Shop Assembly and Part drawings to allow for fabrication. These tools also extend into platework with ability to create complex folded plate details for flat pattern development drawings for shop use. Tools for creating steel frameworks from intelligent macros that allow for adjustments to the overall frame dimensions, section profile selection, this combined with the Parametric connection’s tools for standard connections types, with the ability to create custom connection details for bespoke situations.

About

OwlCAD is parametric 3D CAD that runs in your browser, built for designing parts to 3D print. It sits between beginner tools people outgrow and professional CAD that needs an install and a learning curve. Every dimension stays editable: change a value and the model rebuilds. Booleans are manifold by construction, clearance presets size press, slip and loose fits for FDM, and a printability check flags overhangs, thin walls and leaks before export. Includes constrained sketches, per-edge fillets and chamfers, patterns, sweep and loft, assemblies with mates and a bill of materials, and 30+ generators for gears, threads, enclosures, Gridfinity bins and hinges. Imports STL, 3MF, OBJ, STEP and OpenSCAD; exports STL, 3MF, OBJ, GLB, STEP, DXF and SVG. AI generation turns a prompt into an editable model or a sculpted mesh. Also available as a desktop app and an MCP server for AI agents. Nothing to install, no account needed to start.

You keep full commercial rights to anything you design, on every plan.

Pro is $12 per month, or $120 per year (two months free). It adds AI generation across several models, Modify-with-AI, AI-assisted customizing, and MCP access for AI agents. Pro includes 20 AI credits a month, which reset monthly. Light parametric generations cost one credit, and detailed mesh models cost a few. One-time credit top-up packs never expire. Pro users can also bring their own AI provider key and generate without spending credits. Payments are handled by Stripe, and you can cancel anytime with no contract.

Classroom features for K-12 schools are free. Districts can add a pooled AI credit budget for teachers; contact OwlCAD for details.
