ZOO LAUNCHES ZOO DESIGN STUDIO
The First Professional CAD Platform Powered by Generative AI LOS ANGELES, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoo, a company that creates infrastructure for hardware design, today announced the launch of Zoo Design Studio, a unified CAD suite for engineering and manufacturing companies of all sizes. Included in Zoo Design Studio is Text-to-CAD, a feature that enables design engineers to leverage the power of generative AI to create complex designs in seconds. The new service is available via subscription, starting from free and with advanced features included in paid tiers, from $99 per month. Zoo Design Studio allows customers to flexibly weave edits to their designs between traditional point-and-click interactions, programmatic interactions with code, and text prompt interactions via Text-to-CAD. This allows the customer to choose any of these three approaches within one common environment. Zoo Design Studio is built using their proprietary geometry engine, which is the world's first to be GPU-based, cloud-implemented, API-accessible, and dynamically scalable. "Zoo Design Studio represents the result of two years of intensive technical development, shaped by feedback from 300,000 early users and powered by over 2 million hours of geometry engine computation, resulting in more than 1 million unique Text-to-CAD designs," said Jessie Frazelle, CEO and Co-Founder. "We're thrilled to bring these tools to enterprise customers. When we launched our open alpha last year, it was the first CAD application to blend traditional point-and-click interfaces with modern, automated workflows. Now, with Text-to-CAD, we're pushing that innovation even further." "The real-world productivity gains we've already seen from Text-to-CAD have been incredible," said Jordan Noone, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder. "Internal tests have shown our generative AI can deliver up to 95% of time savings for designing certain complex parts in CAD, just by typing in a description of what you want our system to create." Zoo will continue to support the growth of customers building solutions on top of its APIs—the KittyCAD Design API and ML-ephant Machine Learning API, allowing anyone to build their own custom applications. These APIs allow companies or developers to bring the power of Zoo Design Studio to any custom application they can build themselves. To learn more or start using Zoo Design Studio for free, visit Zoo. ABOUT ZOOZoo develops modern tools for hardware design, including first-of-their-kind generative AI capabilities for CAD. Its flagship product is Zoo Design Studio, modeling software that serves as the central hub of a broader CAD ecosystem which includes innovative tools like Text-to-CAD and a suite of enterprise-ready CAD APIs for developers. Zoo's products are built using its proprietary geometry engine, which serves as a digital bridge between hardware development and machine learning frameworks.

BMW unveils HypersonX soundscape for Neue Klasse electric models
BMW has developed a soundscape, named HypersonX, for its all-electric Neue Klasse models which are scheduled for launch this year. Developed by the BMW Group Sound Design Studio, the HypersonX soundscape forms part of the wider BMW Panoramic iDrive concept aimed at delivering a redefined in-car experience. The HypersonX system includes 43 sound signals, with specially tailored drive sounds for both Personal Mode and Sport Mode. In a press statement, BMW said: 'The multi-dimensional spectrum adapts the sounds precisely to the driving situation at hand and, in so doing, creates an emotional interaction between the driver and their vehicle.' A newly developed control unit and the integration of BMW Operating System X support an innovative audio architecture, allowing the soundscape to adapt in real time to various driving scenarios, the company said. BMW Group Sound Design Creative Director Renzo Vitale said: 'The unique sound spectrum of HypersonX plays a major role in giving a Neue Klasse model its own, highly distinctive character acoustically. 'Through our focus on precision, warmth and lightness, we can create a direct emotional connection between the driver and their vehicle.' In designing the soundscape, BMW focused on essential sound elements inspired by natural tones and artistic structures. The audio control unit, specifically developed for the Neue Klasse, allows for an expanded dynamic range and spatial modulation of the drive sound. The BMW HypersonX sound spectrum emphasises the middle and lower frequency ranges, creating a "well-balanced" acoustic environment that, combined with intuitive operation, precise lighting effects, and 'homely' interior design. More than nine million individual sound instances were generated using a bespoke algorithm and refined into a distinct BMW acoustic signature to enhance the Neue Klasse's in-cabin experience. Last month, BMW signed an agreement with China's Alibaba group to integrate the latter's AI-powered digital cockpit platform into its forthcoming models to be sold in China.
