Meet the Zoo Slow Feeder, created by Serena on our team! 🐾
Remixed from our Zoo Logo design, this pet food bowl is designed to slow down mealtime, helping with digestion and mental stimulation while giving paw-rents a little extra time to explore the latest CAD tools.

How cute is this playful cat-themed tabletop shelf by our co-founder @jenna_bryant? It's perfect for organizing small items on a bathroom counter, closet shelf, desk, vanity, or nightstand. Perfect for skincare, perfumes, accessories, makeup, or tiny treasures.

Guide your geometry exactly where it needs to go.
Use Sweep in Zoo Design Studio to carry a profile along a path as an open surface. Ideal for guide surfaces, routed geometry, and path-driven forms that will be refined later.

🥈 2nd Place: “Acoustic Guitar Body” Anyone who has worked with our super special tangent arcs knows they can be extremely difficult to make our solver happy with, and this project by @randyzwitch handled them beautifully. We also loved the use of equation-driven design and KCL-based feature sizing throughout the model. This was an incredibly strong technical submission that demonstrated a deep understanding of our sometimes finicky design workflows.

🐱 Best in Show: “Geometric Style Cat 3D” The undisputed community favorite. This adorable geometric cat by @ijihu282333 completely won over everyone’s hearts, and honestly, it feels a little serendipitous given our original company name was KittyCAD.

🥇 1st Place: “Mersenne’s Clavichord” This project by @masonmalone took advantage of an incredible amount of the platform’s functionality, including custom string sizing via KCL, a highly unique software capability. It’s a reconstruction of a clavichord described by Marin Mersenne back in 1636. The submission includes KCL code using Mersenne’s Laws to calculate string sounding lengths and even supports two different temperaments. The technical depth, historical inspiration, and execution made this a standout across the board.

Zoo Design Studio just got a major upgrade, constraint-driven sketching! 🎉
While AI has been one of our biggest differentiators, we’re also leveling up the core design experience, starting with faster, cleaner, more intuitive sketching.

Fully customizable annotations are available in Zoo Design Studio within our new GD&T feature set.
Can be set up traditionally, via Zookeeper, or programmatically via KCL.
