125
+ <div class="name">OnShape <span class="tag tag-paid">$1,500/yr</span></div>
126
+ <div class="desc">Browser-native parametric CAD by PTC. The current gold standard for cloud CAD. Real-time multi-user editing, git-style branching, FeatureScript extensibility.</div>
127
+ <div class="strengths"><span>✓</span> Real B-rep kernel, real-time collab, version control, FeatureScript API, simulation, CAM Studio, Render Studio</div>
128
+ <div class="weaknesses"><span>✗</span> $1,500+/yr, free plan forces designs public, no AI tools, no Inventor import, data lives on their servers, no self-hosting</div>
129
+ <div class="our-edge">We're free, open-source, self-hostable. We open Inventor files natively. We have AI part identification, smart BOM, maintenance heatmaps — things OnShape charges extra for via partners.</div>
130
+ </div>
131
+ <div class="comp-card">
132
+ <div class="name">Fusion 360 <span class="tag tag-paid">$545/yr</span></div>
133
+ <div class="desc">Autodesk's cloud-desktop hybrid. Powerful but increasingly locked down — free features removed in 2024-25.</div>
134
+ <div class="strengths"><span>✓</span> Full parametric + direct modeling, simulation, CAM, rendering, generative design</div>
135
+ <div class="weaknesses"><span>✗</span> Desktop install required, subscription lock-in, poor Inventor interop despite same company, killed free features</div>
136
+ <div class="our-edge">Browser-native (no install), free forever, opens Inventor projects directly, generates Fusion migration guides automatically.</div>
137

143
+ <div class="our-edge">A URL that just works on any device. Zero cost. With ExplodeView merged: full analysis suite that SolidWorks doesn't have built-in.</div>

155
+ <div class="our-edge">Open-source (they're closed). Browser-native (they're desktop). We already have Inventor import + ExplodeView's full analysis suite. They model fast but can't analyze existing assemblies.</div>

163
+ <div class="our-edge">MecAgent is a plugin for someone else's software — cycleCAD IS the software. With ExplodeView merged, we have AI identification + smart BOM + maintenance scheduling that MecAgent doesn't touch. We can build the same copilot features INTO our platform.</div>

352
+ <div class="diff-grid">
353
+ <div class="diff-card">
354
+ <h4>vs. OnShape</h4>
355
+ <p>OnShape is the closest feature-match, but costs $1,500/yr and your designs live on PTC's servers. Free tier forces all designs public. No AI analysis, no maintenance tools, no Inventor native import.</p>
356
+ <div class="killer">Our edge: Free, open-source, self-hosted, AI-powered analysis, Inventor import, maintenance heatmaps, service mode for field techs.</div>
357
+ </div>
358
+ <div class="diff-card">
359
+ <h4>vs. Aurorin CAD</h4>
360
+ <p>Aurorin's AI-native modeling is impressive — seconds vs minutes. But it's a desktop app, closed-source, early stage, and only does modeling. No viewing, no analysis, no BOM, no maintenance.</p>
361
+ <div class="killer">Our edge: Browser-native, open-source, ExplodeView's 40+ analysis tools, Inventor import, works today with real production data (DUO 473 parts).</div>
362
+ </div>
363
+ <div class="diff-card">
364
+ <h4>vs. MecAgent</h4>
365
+ <p>MecAgent is a plugin that requires SolidWorks/Inventor/Fusion as a host. $3M raised but still early. Good text-to-CAD and standards checking.</p>
366
+ <div class="killer">Our edge: We ARE the CAD tool — no host required. Building the same copilot features directly into the platform. Free, open-source.</div>
367
+ </div>
368
+ <div class="diff-card">
369
+ <h4>vs. Chili3D</h4>
370
+ <p>Real OpenCascade kernel in browser — solid geometry foundation. But alpha stage, no AI, no analysis, no file format support beyond STEP.</p>
371
+ <div class="killer">Our edge: Complete platform (model + view + analyze + export), 19 modules, AI chatbot, Inventor import, mobile viewer, 40+ ExplodeView tools.</div>
372
+ </div>
373
+ <div class="diff-card">
374
+ <h4>vs. FreeCAD</h4>
375
+ <p>Biggest OSS CAD with massive community and real FEM simulation. But desktop-only, clunky UI, no browser, no AI, no mobile.</p>
376
+ <div class="killer">Our edge: Browser-native, modern UI, AI-powered, mobile viewer, zero install, share-a-link collaboration.</div>
377
+ </div>
378
+ <div class="diff-card">
379
+ <h4>The Unique Combo Nobody Has</h4>
380
+ <p>No single tool combines all of these: parametric modeling + Inventor import + STEP viewing + AI part ID + smart BOM with pricing + maintenance heatmaps + exploded animations + collaborative review + mobile viewer + embeddable widget.</p>
381
+ <div class="killer">Open an Inventor project → model new parts → AI-analyze the assembly → generate BOM with McMaster links → share a review link → export maintenance schedule. All in one tab. $0.</div>

+ <h3>Copilot Features — Detailed</h3>
554
+ <div class="diff-grid">
555
+ <div class="diff-card">
556
+ <h4>1. Text-to-CAD</h4>
557
+ <p>Describe a part in plain English → get a fully parametric 3D model. "Create a 50mm spur gear with 20 teeth and a 10mm bore" → sketch + extrude + pattern + hole.</p>
558
+ <div class="killer">vs. MecAgent: works in our tool, not as a plugin. vs. Aurorin: open-source + browser.</div>
559
+ </div>
560
+ <div class="diff-card">
561
+ <h4>2. Natural Language Editing</h4>
562
+ <p>"Make the hole 2mm larger" → finds the hole feature, updates the dimension, rebuilds. "Add a 3mm fillet to all edges" → selects edges, applies fillet.</p>
563
+ <div class="killer">Context-aware: knows your current selection, feature tree, and assembly.</div>
564
+ </div>
565
+ <div class="diff-card">
566
+ <h4>3. Smart Autocomplete</h4>
567
+ <p>Predicts your next operation based on what you've done. Just extruded a boss? Suggests "Add fillet?" with optimal radius. Building a bracket? Suggests hole pattern.</p>
568
+ <div class="killer">Learns from your workflow patterns within the session.</div>
569
+ </div>
570
+ <div class="diff-card">
571
+ <h4>4. Manufacturability Check</h4>
572
+ <p>Analyzes geometry for DFM issues: wall thickness too thin, draft angles missing, undercuts that can't be machined, tolerances that are too tight for the material.</p>
573
+ <div class="killer">Runs automatically on every feature, not as a separate step.</div>
574
+ </div>
575
+ <div class="diff-card">
576
+ <h4>5. Cost Estimation</h4>
577
+ <p>Estimates manufacturing cost from geometry + material + process. "This part costs ~$12 to CNC from 6061 aluminum, ~$3 to 3D print in PLA, ~$0.80 injection molded at 10K units."</p>
578
+ <div class="killer">Integrated with McMaster pricing for standard parts.</div>
579
+ </div>
580
+ <div class="diff-card">
581
+ <h4>6. Photo → Part Identification</h4>
582
+ <p>Take a photo of a physical part → AI identifies it → suggests McMaster-Carr match → imports CAD model. Already have Gemini Vision in ExplodeView, extend to real photos.</p>
583
+ <div class="killer">Camera on phone → identified → ordered → in your assembly. End to end.</div>
584
+ </div>
585
+ <div class="diff-card">
586
+ <h4>7. Standards Compliance</h4>
587
+ <p>Auto-check against DIN/ISO standards. Flag non-standard bolt sizes, verify thread specs, check material compatibility. Already have DIN/ISO identifier in ExplodeView.</p>
588
+ <div class="killer">vs. MecAgent: same feature but free and built-in.</div>
589
+ </div>
590
+ <div class="diff-card">
591
+ <h4>8. Assembly Intelligence</h4>
592
+ <p>"How do I disassemble the motor?" → AI reads assembly tree + mate constraints → generates step-by-step removal instructions with tool requirements.</p>
593
+ <div class="killer">Already have assembly instructions in ExplodeView. Copilot makes them conversational.</div>
594
+ </div>
