How to Prototype a Product Without CAD Software
You don’t need CAD to build a prototype. Genpire turns sketches into editable visuals and production specs you can share with factories.
The Direct Answer
Prototype without CAD by generating visuals and specs in Genpire, then exporting a tech pack for sampling. This shortens your path from idea to first sample.
Rapid Prototype Workflow
- Sketch or prompt your idea.
- Generate variations and pick the top concept.
- Refine details: materials, trims, dimensions.
- Auto tech pack with POMs and annotations.
- Request a sample from suppliers directly.
Benefits vs CAD
- Faster learning curve
- Fewer tools to manage
- Clearer handoff to manufacturers
