Start with the function
Explain what the part must do: hold a sensor, space two components or store small objects. Describe what it touches and what must remain clear. A precise brief reduces unnecessary interpretation.
Then describe the overall shape and maximum size, stating units clearly.
Add the measurements that control fit
Specify hole diameters and positions, thicknesses, contact surfaces and available space. For an enclosure, distinguish internal and external dimensions. Separate known measurements from those you still need to take.
Example brief: “I need an open-top rectangular tray, external dimensions 80 × 50 × 30 mm, with 2 mm walls. It is for indoor storage and carries no load.” This is an example request, not evidence of a manufactured result.
Review the resulting draft
Compare the geometry with your measurements and request specific corrections. Check openings, internal volumes and mating surfaces. Generating a shape does not certify its tolerances or fitness for use.
The AI is in development. Some requests need several exchanges, simplification or help from a technician.
Choose the next step
Depending on the creation, the Forge workflow can offer model files and access to print on demand. Check which deliverables are actually available in your workspace.
