renue Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Yusuke Yamamoto) has added three features to 'Drawing Agent,' a web application that autonomously generates 3D models from 2D drawings: STEP format output editable in CAD software, automatic OCR dimension checking, and an industrial parts knowledge base. This strengthens both CAD data compatibility and generation accuracy required at manufacturing sites.
## Update Overview
Drawing Agent is a web application that automatically generates 3D models simply by uploading 2D drawing images.
Since its initial release in March 2026, the following requests have been received from multiple companies in the manufacturing industry:
- Output in STEP format that can be edited with CAD software
- Support for PDF drawings
- Improvement of dimensional accuracy
In this update, the following three new features have been added:
- Fully migrated the 3D generation engine to a CadQuery base, supporting output in STEP format editable by CAD software.
- Implemented a pipeline for automatic comparison between dimension text extracted by OCR and actual 3D model measurements.
- Pre-loaded an industrial parts knowledge base of 100 items across 10 categories, allowing the AI agent to dynamically reference optimal generation patterns.
As a result, generated 3D data can now be directly imported into CAD software for editing.
It also supports drawing input in PDF format.

## Details of New Features
### 3D Model Output in STEP Format
In the previous release, we supported output in GLB and STL formats. While these are suitable for web viewers and 3D printing, their mesh format prevents adding faces or changing dimensions in CAD software.
This time, we fully migrated the 3D generation engine to be CadQuery-based.
- Because CadQuery constructs solid models using B-Rep (Boundary Representation), it can output in STEP format, which is editable in major CAD software.
- CadQuery uses B-Rep (Boundary Representation)...
