What is Neurocad?

Engineering teams spend more time reconstructing design intent across tool boundaries than doing forward design. Neurocad is the intent compiler that closes that gap — turning datasheets, PDFs, reference designs, and images into native, parametric assets in Altium, Cadence, SolidWorks, and Autodesk. No intermediate formats. No re-entry. The AI describes. The kernel executes.

How Neurocad works

Neurocad is a vendor-agnostic intent compiler that converts static engineering files — datasheets, drawings, schematics, images — into native, parametric, design-ready assets inside Altium, Cadence, and KiCad through a reusable visual workflow called a Recipe. No format conversion. No manual reconstruction. The AI describes. The kernel executes.

Getting started

Download and install Neurocad Link

Neurocad Link is a desktop companion app that maintains a live connection between Neurocad and installed CAD applications including Altium, Cadence, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Inventor. When a recipe completes, Neurocad Link fetches the asset and delivers it directly into the active tool — no file download, no manual import, no save-and-reopen. Zero re-entry at the desktop boundary.

Recovery phrase

Your Neurocad account is protected by two layers of security — your account credentials and a recovery phrase. This page explains how both work and what to do if you lose access.

Artifacts. Your library of design-ready assets

Artifacts is where you manage and send your design-ready assets to your tools. Every schematic symbol, PCB footprint, and 3D model Neurocad has generated for you. Browse what your recipes have produced, preview any output before it leaves the system, modify as you wish, and send finished assets directly into Altium, Cadence, SolidWorks, or Fusion.

Recipe nodes

This guide covers the node types available in the recipe palette and explains the workflows each one supports.

Recipes

Using nodes

Nodes are the building blocks of every Neurocad recipe. This guide covers how to add, connect, and configure them to build workflows that move engineering data from source to native CAD asset.

Getting started

Send to desktop node

The Send to Desktop node pushes finished recipe outputs directly to Altium, Cadence, Fusion, SolidWorks, or Inventor. Set up your machine, check the connection status, and dispatch — no manual import needed.

Recipe automations

Deploying a recipe turns it into a server-side automation that runs without manual input. This guide covers how to configure, deploy, and manage automated recipe workflows in Neurocad.

What is design intent?

Design intent is everything behind a design decision that a file doesn't carry — the constraints, the reasoning, the physics. Neurocad captures it at the source, surfaces it for your review before anything is generated, and propagates it as native, parametric assets into the tools you already use. No reconstruction at any boundary.

Neurocad Link and how it works

Neurocad Link pushes finished designs straight into Altium, SolidWorks, Fusion, Inventor, and Cadence the moment a recipe finishes. No download, no manual import, no "save then reopen." Install it once, sign in with your Neurocad account, and your desktop becomes the final step in the pipeline.
