Backflip AI turns 3D scans into editable CAD models in minutes instead of hours

backflip ai introduced a new model that generates native cad features like extrusions and revolutions from mesh files, unlike previous tools that only produced static surface meshes. available as an autodesk fusion 360 plugin, the software democratizes cad design by cutting down conversion time from hours to minutes. this addresses a critical gap in manufacturing, where ceo greg mark notes that factories lack digital models for over 99% of their parts. backed by $30 million, the startup aims to streamline prototyping and supply chain digitization.
