Features
The whole mechanical design workflow.
From constrained sketch to assembly instructions, Octopus 360 brings together the tools of an industrial CAD package, in an interface that will feel familiar.
01Sketch
- Lines, rectangles, circles, arcs, slots, polygons, points
- Automatic and manual relations, exact degree-of-freedom solver
- State colours: free, fully defined, over-defined
- Smart dimensions, “fully define”
- Sketch fillet and chamfer, trim, offset, mirror, pattern
- Sketch on a face, 3D sketch (piping, cables)
02Parts
- Extrude and revolve with every end condition
- Loft, sweep (thin tube), helix, rib, draft, shell
- Advanced fillets and chamfers, linear and circular patterns
- ISO hole wizard: ISO 4762 counterbore, countersink, M1.6 to M36 taps
- Cosmetic threads with ISO 6410 representation
- Reference geometry, flex, twist, scale
03Assemblies
- Concentric, coincident, parallel, distance, angle mates
- Flexible components (springs) and animated screwing
- Interference detection
- Bill of materials with masses and persistent item numbers
- Weld beads, smart fasteners
- Sub-assemblies
04Drawings
- Standard, projected, section and detail views, linked to the model
- ISO 6433 balloons, ISO 1101 geometric tolerancing
- ISO 2553 weld symbols, surface finish
- Hole, revision and weld tables, linked bill of materials
- Title block, A4 to A0 sheets
- Vector PDF and SVG to scale, DXF
05Octopus Motion
- Assembly animation on a timeline (move, rotate, show)
- Named steps, cameras and views
- Automatic instruction generation: one page per step
- Exploded views, motion arrows, balloons, parts needed
- PDF, PNG and MP4 / WebM video export up to 4K
- Live link with the assembly
06Import, export and recognition
- STEP import with feature recognition
- Tree rebuilt and checked identical (volume and surfaces)
- STEP, STL, OBJ, PNG export
- DXF import and export
- Native .wwcad, .wwasm, .wwdrw, .wwmot files
- Automatic session backup
07Design library
- 45 types and 566 standard sizes
- Screws, nuts, washers, pins, circlips, bearings
- Drag and drop into the assembly, with mates
- Smart fasteners on holes
08Evaluate and present
- Mass properties, materials
- Measure, live section
- Draft analysis, curvature, zebra stripes
- Realistic rendering: HDR studio, physical materials, soft shadow
09AI-assisted CAD
- Built-in MCP server: 29 tools
- ✦ Claude chat inside the software
- Sketches, features, assemblies, measurements, exports driven by AI
- Optional: everything works without AI
10The application
- Tabbed documents, open by double-click in Windows
- Automatic updates
- 30 days of offline use
- Licence tied to your Google account, several computers
Design library open on an assembly
Library
Standard hardware, ready to place.
Pick a screw, nut or bearing from the library and drop it on a part: it is placed with its mates and appears in the bill of materials.
