Backflip

AI that turns 3D scans, sketches and prompts into CAD

Backflip is an AI CAD tool focused on reconstructing editable CAD models from 3D scans, plus generating designs from text or images. New accounts get 50 free credits with no card; paid plans start at $20 a month. Backflip raised a $30M Series A from a16z and NEA in December 2024.

Free credits are a trial, not a free plan. Check exported geometry against the original part.
