Prism Brings Agents to Hardware Engineering
Prism is Navier AI’s desktop engineering workstation, combining CAD, simulation, coding, 3D visualization, and reporting in one agent-driven app. Its local-first workflow keeps project files, solvers, meshes, and results on the engineer’s machine while sending only agent-required context to the model.

Prism’s strongest idea is treating hardware development like an inspectable coding workflow, with agents coordinating tools without hiding the underlying files or physics.
- –Integrates CAD, open-source solvers, code, visualization, and reports into one reviewable loop.
- –Local execution and approval gates address trust, privacy, and auditability concerns that make AI-generated engineering results risky.
- –Support for OpenFOAM, SU2, CalculiX, code_aster, and other solvers gives the platform credibility beyond a generic chatbot wrapper. [Prism Docs](https://docs.navier.ai/prism)
- –The $500-per-seat monthly price positions Prism for professional engineering teams rather than casual makers. [Pricing](https://www.navier.ai/pricing)
- –The real test is validation: agents can automate setup and reporting, but engineers still need to verify assumptions, meshes, boundary conditions, and convergence.
