OUR STORY

One Prefix. One Philosophy.

The "cycle" in both brands isn't coincidence — it's the DNA of everything we build. Circular thinking applied to machines, and now to the tools that design them.

cycleWASH
Circular Engineering

cycleWASH builds industrial bicycle washing machines — real hardware that keeps bikes in circulation longer. Complex machines with hundreds of precision-engineered parts across multiple sub-assemblies, designed in Autodesk Inventor and built in Germany.

Every part is designed for disassembly, repair, and reuse. That's circular engineering — designing products that fight the throwaway economy from the first sketch.

cycleCAD
Democratizing Design

Designing complex machines meant fighting $4,000/year CAD licenses, proprietary file formats, and tools that lock you into one vendor's ecosystem. We built cycleCAD to solve our own problem — and to power the circular economy.

Browser-based, zero-install, AI-agent-ready. Built so AI agents can design autonomously, unskilled workers can build with confidence, and anyone with a browser can participate in the circular economy.

SHARED DNA

What makes it a "cycle" product

Six principles that define everything we build.

🔄

Circular by Design

cycleWASH machines are built for disassembly and repair. cycleCAD's rebuild guides and maintenance tools encode that philosophy into software.

🌍

Accessible to All

No gatekeeping. cycleWASH publishes its part data openly. cycleCAD runs in any browser — no download, no license key, no barrier to entry.

🏭

Real-World Proven

cycleCAD isn't academic software — it's been tested with complex cycleWASH machines. Every feature exists because a real engineering team needed it.

🧠

AI-Native Intelligence

Both products leverage AI: cycleWASH uses smart diagnostics for predictive maintenance. cycleCAD integrates AI for part identification, cost estimation, and natural-language modeling.

👥

Community-Driven

cycleWASH grew from the bike community. cycleCAD grows from the maker community. Both believe the best products are built with their users, not just for them.

🇩🇪

German Engineering, Global Reach

Designed in Germany, deployed everywhere. cycleWASH machines operate across Europe. cycleCAD runs in any browser, any country, 6 languages.

THE PROBLEM

CAD software is stuck in the past

Requires screen, mouse, keyboard

Traditional CAD demands a trained human sitting at a workstation. An AI agent can't use SolidWorks. An unskilled worker can't use Inventor. The interface IS the bottleneck.

$680 — $6,000 per year

Professional CAD tools cost thousands per seat per year. Small teams, field workers, and developing nations are priced out of designing their own products.

No intelligence built in

Traditional CAD is a dumb drawing tool. No AI analysis, no maintenance planning, no autonomous design. Every action requires a trained human operator.

Designed for the throwaway economy

No tool helps you design for disassembly, repair, or reuse. No wear prediction, no maintenance scheduling, no circular economy thinking. Design once, throw away, repeat.

THE PLATFORM

12 killer features. Zero competition.

No other browser CAD has all of these. Most desktop tools don't either. v3.9.0 — 52,000+ lines of module code across 46 modules.

AGENTS ARE THE INTERFACE

CAD built for agents. Used by everyone.

Everyone uses cycleCAD — but nobody opens it. Your AI agent is the interface. Tell it what you need. It designs through cycleCAD.

🤖

Any AI Agent

GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral — any LLM can design, validate, and manufacture through cycleCAD's API. The agent IS the interface.

🔧

Field Technician

"I need a replacement bracket for the DUO." Their agent designs it, validates DFM, sends G-code to the printer. No CAD skills needed.

💼

Product Manager

"Make the frame 10% lighter." Their agent runs topology optimization through cycleCAD, presents three options.

📊

Sales Engineer

"Configure this for the client's specs." Their agent modifies the parametric model, exports a spec sheet, shares a 3D link.

🏭

Factory Floor

Machine sensors detect wear. An agent designs the replacement, validates tolerances, generates G-code. No human touched a mouse.

🔬

Researcher

"Design a centrifuge mount for 12,000 RPM." Their agent runs stress analysis through cycleCAD, iterates until it passes.

♻️

Circular Economy

End-of-life agent scans a product, identifies reusable parts, redesigns what's worn, routes recycling. The loop closes automatically.

🌐

Agent Swarms

Hundreds of agents working in parallel — designing, validating, manufacturing, repairing. 24/7. No GUI. No breaks. Just $CYCLE tokens flowing.

THE VISION

The Agent-First OS for Manufacturing

Just like a computer OS connects hardware, drivers, and applications — cycleCAD connects CAD, CAM, analysis, scanning, VR, drawings, manufacturing, and end of life into one system. AI agents are the users. The API is the interface. $CYCLE tokens are the currency.

AI is the glue. Parametric modeling was the first right step — but to truly automate manufacturing, every component needs to speak the same language. cycleCAD provides that language. From intent to product to end of life — one continuous, AI-driven cycle.

THE ONLY INTERFACE

Machines Creating Machines

Traditional CAD has a GUI because it was designed for humans with a mouse. cycleCAD has no GUI because it was designed for AI agents with an API. A sensor detects wear. An agent designs the replacement. Another agent validates manufacturability. A third generates G-code and routes it to the factory floor. The machine improved itself. No human touched anything.

circular economy

Every step consumes $CYCLE tokens. Every repaired part mints new ones. AI agents design. Factories produce. Products get repaired, not discarded. The token economy mirrors the circular economy — value flows in circles, forever.

40+ API ENDPOINTS

Every capability is agent-callable. Sketch, model, validate, export — all through one unified API.

TOKEN ECONOMY

Consume tokens. Create value.

Dollars are legacy. cycleCAD runs on $CYCLE tokens — AI agents consume tokens to design, humans and machines earn them by creating value in the circular economy.

Consume
🪙
Spend $CYCLE tokens
  • AI agents pay tokens per design operation
  • Parametric modeling, AI analysis, validation
  • STEP export, G-code generation
  • Manufacturing routing & DFM checks
  • Usage-based — pay only for what you use
Create
⛏️
Earn $CYCLE coins
  • Design reusable parts → earn tokens
  • Validate designs for others → earn tokens
  • Contribute to the circular economy → earn tokens
  • Repair/refurbish data → earn tokens
  • Value creation = value capture
The Cycle
♻️
Circular token flow
  • AI agents design → tokens consumed
  • Manufactured products → tokens minted
  • Parts repaired/reused → tokens earned
  • Economy grows with every cycle
  • The more circular, the more valuable

$CYCLE — the currency of the circular economy

Every design, every validation, every manufactured part, every repair — tokenized. AI agents and humans transact on the same network. No invoices. No subscriptions. Just value flowing in circles.
