Overview
Hestus is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software designed to enhance and accelerate hardware development processes.
Looking to automate mundane tasks in hardware development, Hestus aims to improve efficiency and help engineers focus more on the creative aspects of the design process.
The AI functionality within the tool is known to significantly speed up design execution processes by automating specific repetitive tasks, thereby enabling industry professionals to make better use of their time.
Initially, Hestus is designed for integration with the Autodesk Fusion 360 platform. However, there are plans underway to expand its compatibility to include other CAD platforms beyond Fusion 360.
Hestus is evidently designed for seamless integration with the user's existing CAD platform and continues to push the boundaries of hardware design by employing machine learning technology and automation to aid in creating optimized designs at a faster pace.
