Abstract
The engineering field has undergone a profound transformation with the advent of
Computer-Aided Design (CAD), becoming an integral part of an engineer's daily life. However,
despite technological progress, the CAD engineering process still grapples with inefficiencies.
Manual design processes drive up engineering costs, limited interoperability between CAD
systems hinders engineering productivity growth and the lack of transparency regarding existing
and potential complementary software for CAD systems slows down innovation. Additionally,
limited integration of AI technology within CAD software hampers technological progress and
efficiency, particularly in the design process of customized products, where 60-70% of costs are
attributed to engineering expenses. Root causes include manual labor reliance, underutilization
of existing CAD data, exclusive software features, and the complexity of switching CAD systems.
The CAD market is worth billions of US dollars and, with all its challenges, offers a very attractive
environment for change.
CADAICO addresses these challenges leveraging powerful AI models and blockchain technology

1. Why CADAICO
1.1. The Problem
In the contemporary world of engineering and manufacturing, technology has optimized the
design process to its pinnacle. Yet, a notable obstacle persists largely unaddressed - the
inefficiencies ingrained within the computer-aided design (CAD) engineering process.
Design experts from Festo SE & Co. KG state that only 25-30% of the design process relies on an
engineer's creativity and engineering expenses constitute a significant 60-70% of production
equipment costs, a burden that affects all specialized products due to high efforts for
redesigning and the reliance on a manual labor-based system.
Even when CAD software companies introduce new features to enhance engineering efficiency,
medium and large companies are reluctant to adapt their existing CAD software systems with
each new feature release. This hesitance is underscored by the distinct functions and native file
formats inherent to each CAD software, rendering them unique and challenging to interchange.
Daimler's 5-year transition from DS Catia to Siemens NX is a prime example, involving training for
6,000 engineers, converting 230,000 CAD files, and migrating 1,000 suppliers, incurring significant
costs in the low three-digit million euros range. The process of importing and exporting CAD files,
usually a simple task, often becomes problematic due to the loss of parametric features during
3D model transfer. This results in models lacking functionality or incomplete translations with
missing surfaces. The limited ability of CAD packages to read and write in various native formats
exacerbates the issue, forcing the use of neutral formats like STEP files. Despite the capability of
major CAD/CAM packages to open part files from different systems, achieving full compatibility
remains a significant and unaddressed challenge in the CAD software industry.
Drawing from our experience and industry insight, we've pinpointed the primary sources behind
CAD industry challenges:
● The dependence on manual labor
Despite living in an era of automation and digital solutions, engineers continue to shoulder
the burden of manual design, resulting in high labor costs due to their high hourly rates,
which are around $100 for countries like Germany1
.
● Underutilisation of existing CAD data
Every engineering organization has a wealth of CAD data (between 100,000 and 500,000 CAD
files in medium and large companies) from previous projects and designs. Instead of
tapping into this goldmine, engineers often start from scratch due to a lack of knowledge about
1Glassdoor (2023): CAD Engineer Salaries in Germany
4
existing data and the time-consuming nature of manually searching through thousands of files.
It remains to be impossible to find the needle in the CAD haystack.
● CAD companies only release new features for their own CAD programs that are incompatible
with others because they want to increase their own market share. This means that companies
can't use one CAD software and combine it with new features of another CAD software.
● Switching to another CAD software is almost impossible for an engineering company due to
the high costs and effort required for the change.
● Companies need to mandate CAD partner companies to develop plug-ins for their specific
CAD program, without knowing whether such plug-ins have already been developed by
others due to a lack of transparency on the market.
● Limited integration of AI technology. The integration of AI in CAD software has so far mainly
been limited to the field of generative design, with smaller CAD partner companies having
to struggle with significant limitations. These smaller entities often need more expertise
and resources to train their AI models and develop AI-based plug-ins. This gap is evident
despite the massive growth in the technology sector, as highlighted by GlobalData's
report on Innovation in Artificial Intelligence: AI-assisted CAD2
. In the past three years
alone, the technology industry has witnessed the filing and granting of over 3.6 million
patents, underscoring the rapid advancement in this field. Yet, the specific use of AI within
CAD systems remains a challenging frontier, especially for smaller companies in the
industry.
In summary, the engineering industry is trapped in a costly and inefficient cycle where the CAD
design process is outdated. A modern, efficient solution is urgently needed - and that's precisely
where CADAICO enters the picture.

2.3. The CADAICO Blockchain: Trust, Transparency,
and Efficiency
While the CADAI Platform is a potent tool for open innovation, we acknowledge the importance of
fostering trust and confidence, particularly in company-specific use cases. To achieve this, we
have turned to blockchain technology to introduce an unparalleled layer of security and
transparency to our system.
Blockchain technology encompasses a unique blend of characteristics, including immutability,
transparency, and security, which are pivotal in addressing the trust deficit that often plagues AI
systems. Unlike traditional centralized databases, which are susceptible to hacking, corruption,
and unauthorized access, a decentralized blockchain network ensures that data remains
transparent and secure.
A significant challenge for business models offering AI-based services to enterprise customers
revolves around establishing trust in the underlying model. For this reason, CADAICO has opted to
construct its platform and data validation algorithms atop the ONINO Sub-Chain framework. The
CADAICO Blockchain operates on a DAG-based consensus algorithm, facilitating high throughput
and sub-2-second transaction finality. The CADAICO blockchain will fortify its security through its
consensus algorithms and validators while additionally anchoring on top of the ONINO Main
Chain, ensuring superior scalability and security for our enterprise-focused features.
Our blockchain integration introduces three key features to enhance its ecosystem. Firstly, it
ensures transparent training data, allowing users, developers, and enterprises to validate data
usage in training the CADAI Model, building trust in the model's foundation. Secondly, the
blockchain enables the creation of a transparent, secure, and instant marketplace on top of the
CADAICO Platform, providing easy access to the CADAI Models. Finally, automated access
management through blockchain-based role access control ensures secure management of
licenses and platform functions.
This blockchain infrastructure is a dependable, secure, and decentralized platform for other AI
applications that necessitate preserving the integrity of training data and ensuring safe access
to our systems. The robustness of blockchain technology fosters trust and transparency, driving
innovation and progress within the AI development community. This data integrity is particularly
10
Java
significant for the CADAI Model, guaranteeing transparency and immutability in all design
iterations, specifications, and user activities.
The CADAICO Blockchain offers a range of benefits to the AI model and the broader ecosystem. It
enhances efficiency through smart contracts that automatically validate data quality, ensuring
prompt admission of high-quality designs. Additionally, blockchain facilitates secure and efficient
data distribution and transaction settlement with cost-effectiveness and near-instant global
settlements. The use of Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) algorithms ensures consensus in
multi-stakeholder environments, promoting robust and rapid settlements. Moreover, secure
access management is achieved through Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), where distinct
cryptographic key pairs and digital signatures govern permissions for various types of data
access and system administration.
The 'Proof of Training Data' algorithm is intended to securely record essential data points and
metadata on the blockchain. This encompasses details like data origin, training timestamps,
quality metrics, and AI model performance changes post-training. Smart contracts within the
blockchain validate data against predefined quality standards before it is employed for training,
assuring data integrity. Although the algorithm is undergoing testing and will only be accessible
upon the CADAI Model's release, a foundational conceptual approach is outlined below.
PROOF_OF_TRAINING_DATA(training_data, creator, metadata)
1 QUALITY_THRESHOLD ← predefined_value
2 INTEGRITY_THRESHOLD ← predefined_value
3 blockchain_record ← Ø
4 quality_score ← EVALUATE_DATA_QUALITY(training_data)

groundbreaking tool represents the first independent AI solution for CAD, affording engineering
companies the flexibility to retain their preferred CAD program while harnessing AI's cutting-edge
capabilities. This technology will steadily enhance its performance over time by continuously
learning from accumulated training data.
Imagine being an engineer tasked with designing equipment for product assembly within your
company. Your company has a vast library of CAD files, but their sheer volume makes manual
searching impractical. You reluctantly start your CAD software and begin the painstaking process
of designing from scratch. After completing the initial design, you face the daunting task of
creating multiple versions for different product variations. Now, picture a future where you open
your CAD program and, instead of starting from scratch, you interact with the integrated chat box
to communicate your equipment design needs to the CADAI Assistant.
The CADAI Assistant rapidly generates equipment components using the company's CAD
database, standard parts catalogs, and suppliers' resources. The user has full control, selecting
and modifying parts as desired. The CADAI Assistant offers valuable suggestions throughout the
design process, fostering a collaborative dialogue until the equipment design is complete. With
each interaction, the CADAI Assistant becomes more intelligent and skilled, continuously evolving
and improving its capabilities.
At the bottom end, this means
creating innovative and
groundbreaking products at
lower cost.
The first CADAI Assistant
functions to be implemented:
1. Imagine you're an
engineer, who likes to
start a new design. The
first thing you do after
starting your CAD
software is to write the
12
Illustration 3: Schematic illustration of the CADAI Assistant
CADAI Assistant what you want to design.
You: “Today I like to design a bracket to hold a product on a workbench.”
CADAI Assistant: “Please load your product and the part you like to connect it to”
You supply the necessary data to the CADAI Assistant, which then searches your
company's CAD database and displays existing bracket designs. You can select the
parts you want to use and proceed.
2. Now you like to change the bracket to make it fit your product.
You: “Please adjust the mount to my product.”
CADAI Assistant: ”Please mark the parts of the product and mount that are in contact.”
You mark all parts in your CAD software.
You: “Done.”
CADAI Assistant adjusts the mount to the product surface.
CADAI Assistant: “Is that how you imagined it?”
You: ”Yes, thanks.”
3. Now you are finished with your rough design and like to refine the design.
You: “Hey CADAI. Could you please put in all the necessary screws?”
CADAI Assistant: “What forces affect along the axes X, Y, and Z?”
You: “Done.”
CADAI Assistant: “I would use standard screws. Is that ok?”
You: “Yes, thanks.”
CADAI Assistant: “Done.”
4. Imagine you’re designing something and suddenly the CADAI chat box pops.
CADAI Assistant: “Hello. I can see that you’re designing a part, which I might have an
existing standard part for. Do you want to see it?”
You: “Yes, please.”
CADAI Assistant shows you the part on the screen.
You: “Fits well. Please replace it in my design.”
CADAI Assistant: “Done.”
5. You just finished your design and now like to have it in 5 more sizes for different product
versions.
You: “Hey CADAI. Please scale my design and adapt it to other product variations.”
CADAI Assistant: “Alright. Please load all product variations and adjust them to your
design.”
You load all variations into the CAD software and adjust them: “Done.”
CADAI Assistant: “I’ll start the process. It will take a few minutes. Time for a coffee break?”
After a few minutes, the CADAI Assistant replies: “Done. Please review the results.”
You: “There is a collision in design no. 3. Please remove it, changing the design slightly.”
CADAI Assistant: “Done. Something else?”
You: “That’s it. Thanks.”
13
The potential for substantial cost reductions, around 30% to 40%, is a promising prospect for the
CADAI Assistant. For example, in a typical scenario where a manufacturing plant needs to design
a $100,000 piece of equipment, engineering costs can reach $60,000 to $70,000. This cost
structure is a significant concern in the engineering industry. Mid-sized manufacturing plants in
Europe usually allocate $1-3 million annually for customized equipment and special machines.
This could result in annual cost savings of $300,000 to $1,200,000 per plant.
Companies like our partner Schnaithmann Maschinenbau GmbH could see a remarkable 30-40%
boost in design team productivity, equating to annual cost savings of up to $2 million for
similar-sized companies.
14

5. The CADAI Token
The CADAI token will function as the native utility token of the CADAI Platform and Blockchain
Ecosystem. It will initially launch on Ethereum with a pairing to ETH and then later be migrated to
the native CADAICO blockchain. For more information on the CADAI token, we refer to a paper on
the $CADAI Token Economy.
At CADAICO, we use blockchain technology to increase trust in AI systems and underlying data.
As current layer-1 blockchain solutions are susceptible to congestion and have difficulty
estimating costs, CADAICO aims to power its AI model with the native CADAICO Chain. The CADAI
token will be the primary medium to guarantee the network's security and pay for accruing gas
fees.
5.1. CADAI Token Design
The primary function of the CADAI token is to manage access control, incentivize positive
behaviour, protect against Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, efficiently allocate resources, and
provide economic security through gas fees. The CADAI token does not give any rights
associated with the CADAICO company. The basic principles behind the token economic designs
are:
● $CADAI is the native utility token of the CADAI Platform
● $CADAI maximum token supply Smax is 100.000.000 tokens
● $CADAI is used for gas fees and remuneration of validators
● $CADAI is used to incentivise the data providers
● The $CADAI token economy is based on economic incentives to secure the permissionless
decentralized system
17
5.1.1. The Actors
For considerations in our economic design, we can categorize the actors participating in the
CADAICO economy like to following:
● Individual App Users: Individuals who use the CADAI Platform and its AI-based products
● App Creators: Individuals who provide value to the CADAI Platform by creating
applications based on the underlying technology
● Data Providers: Individuals and companies providing training and user data for AI model
training
● Validators: $CADAI token holders have the option to stake their tokens and participate in
validating
● Token holders: individuals holding the $CADAI token can be all or none of the above.
CADAICO's native chain is leaderless and permissionless, anyone can engage in validating if
prerequisites are met. These principles are crucial in the design of $CADAI and the long-term
dynamics of the economic system. $CADAI has a fixed supply of 100M tokens, which will be
initially deployed on Ethereum and later migrated to the native CADAICO blockchain. The genesis
block of the CADAICO blockchain will handle the distribution of all native $CADAI that are ready to
be migrated; other tokens will be minted and distributed by the team when effectively
exchanged.
5.1.2. Gas Fees & Network Security
The first security aspect of the CADAI token relates to economic security. Validators receive their
reimbursement in CADAI tokens, creating an inherent incentive for them to maintain and secure
the network, making attacks economically unfavorable. Secondly, the CADAI token is crucial for
the fair allocation of limited computational resources across a distributed set of actors. Users
need to use the CADAI token for their computational resources, with transaction prioritization
potentially based on the attached gas fees.
Lastly, the gas fee structure underpinned by the CADAI token enables the network to defend
against attacks, like Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. Users must pay CADAI tokens for
transactions, deterring potential attackers from overwhelming the network with
resource-intensive operations and making large-scale DoS attacks economically impractical.
5.1.3. Settlement of Usage Fees
The CADAI token will be the primary medium of exchange for rights to use the CADAI Platform and
its underlying AI models, including transaction fees on the CADAI Platform and license fees.
CADAICO will enable automatic transactions on its network to minimize friction and make
18
platform entry easier, allowing users to utilize the platform without interacting directly with the

a designated percentage of the revenue developers generate through applications founded on
CADAICO technology. Our CADAI Assistant will be a licensed plug-in for third-party CAD programs
featuring classic single-user and company licensing models, which is important for our B2B
business, as companies need reliable pricing models for their annual budgets. License pricing will
depend on the functionality required by the customer.
Our overarching goal is to ensure fair and predictable pricing for all users and to maintain
CADAICO's economic viability to continuously improve and expand our AI offerings.
The CADAI token is pivotal in managing the intricacies of the platform's multifaceted business
model. It facilitates the dynamics of various pricing models, allocates essential computational
resources, and directs the flow of information throughout the platform.
