Introduced as a technology preview in late 2025 , Tech Soft 3D has officially launched HOOPS AI framework purpose-built to integrate CAD data into machine learning (ML) pipelines.  The product is now generally available, building on a successful beta program with over 30 companies. The launch addresses a problem that has long complicated work for engineers in manufacturing and related fields. CAD datasets are notoriously difficult to feed into modern ML systems in any reliable way, and HOOPS AI takes that on directly by handling data preparation and model experimentation. Speaking about the launch, Gavin Bridgeman, CTO, Tech Soft 3D said, “The official launch of HOOPS AI marks an important step in Tech Soft 3D leading the effort to bring AI to engineering data.” HOOPS AI connects CAD geometry directly with artificial-intelligence workflows.
