AI - Aibuild

Print better parts in less time.

Ask questions, build toolpaths, check quality, fix issues — without leaving Aibuild. The AI Agent brings a decade of manufacturing expertise into every decision you make.

Watch: Aibuild AI agent works alongside you to print challenging parts.

What it can do

Toolpath guidance

Ask questions about operators, settings, and slicing strategies. The agent can explain what you're seeing, suggest better approaches, and add operators to your workflow on request.

Quality and safety reasoning

After computing a toolpath, ask "Is this toolpath good?" The agent reads your quality check results — overhang, cornering, surface tolerance, continuity — and gives you specific, actionable feedback.

Autonomous iteration

Set a goal and let it run. Act → Compute → Check → Adjust → Iterate. The agent loops autonomously until your toolpath meets the criteria you give it, or it tells you no further improvement is possible.

Postprocessor writing

Inside the Custom Postprocessor Code Editor, ask the agent to draft or modify machine logic. Upload sample files, describe the change, and it applies updates directly in the editor — with a comparison step before anything is saved.

Printer configuration

The agent understands your machine setup. Ask it to explain workspace limits, check whether your printer configuration is compatible with a part, or flag reach constraints before they become problems on the build floor.

Material selection

Ask what-if questions and get answers grounded in real manufacturing data. Compare materials for weight, thermal behaviour, print time, or structural requirements — and make material decisions with confidence, not guesswork.

Built for every engineer

For engineers new to LFAM

The agent acts as an intelligent mentor. It explains what you're seeing, recommends settings in plain language, and walks you through workflows step by step — so you're never stuck guessing.

For experienced engineers

The agent is your co-pilot with institutional knowledge ready to deploy. It handles the repetitive refinement cycles that eat hours of production planning time — so you can focus on the engineering decisions that actually need your expertise.

For teams evaluating AM

The agent helps you build the case. It can evaluate whether AM is the right approach for a specific part, explain the trade-offs versus traditional manufacturing, and help you understand the implications for cost, lead time, and design freedom — so you can make informed decisions and communicate them with confidence.

Prompts to try

Build & optimise

• "Create a good toolpath for my part."
• "Optimise my toolpath."
• "How can I print this faster?"
• "Add a brim to my workflow."
• "Delete my unused operators."

Check & fix

• "Is this toolpath good?"
• "Where are the problem areas?"
• "Find the problems with my toolpath and fix them."
• "Does my toolpath have collisions?"
• "Edit the tool rotations until there are no longer any collisions."

Understand & explore

• "What does this setting do?"
• "Explain this workflow."
• "What is this operator doing?"
• "If I print this with ABS instead, would the part be any heavier?"
• "Write a postprocessor for my machine language."
• "I've received this error — what does it mean and what should I change?"

This is just the beginning.

The Aibuild AI Agent is the intelligence foundation for Aibuild OS — our autonomous engineering platform for CAD, CAE, and CAM. The same expertise that powers your toolpath decisions will soon operate your entire engineering workflow.

FAQS

Any questions?

Which AI features are included in the standard Aibuild subscriptions?

Aibuild AI Agent, next operator recommendations and smart setting defaults are included in all subscription packages. Process monitoring and defect detection features are not included in standard tiers as they require specific hardware. For more information about integrating Aibuild in-process monitoring features into your hardware please contact us.

Is Aibuild AI just a chat bot like ChatGPT?

Although we use the same state-of-the-art Large Language Models that power OpenAIs ChatGPT, Aibuild AI is a lot more than a chat bot. It is built to understand your AM specific intent with only a few words and perform the actions that are that are required to meet your requirements as an autonomous agent. This ability to translate natural language into practical actions within Aibuild platform makes the software accessible to users with all levels of experience. We are making improvements to Aibuild AI everyday to make it smarter and more helpful.
