@evvaaannnn - Hermes Agentic CAD Builder
A CAD agent that sources real hardware from McMaster-Carr, modifies a parametric FreeCAD model to match the sourced part dimensions, reasons about downstream geometry changes to avoid conflicts, and maintains a bill of materials for the assembly.
The agent creates its own new skills when it discovers repeatable workflows, like sourcing specific hardware types.
This was a domain nobody expected. Hardware engineering has a tight feedback loop between sourcing and design that's still mostly manual. Having an agent find a screw on McMaster, updating the model to match its actual dimensions, then figuring out what else in the assembly breaks is a workflow that can make a difference for people building physical products.
