If you’re a robotics engineer, you’ve probably lost hours to URDF generation.
Not because the robot is complex but because the tooling is.
Renaming mates. Fixing joint axes. Recreating reference frames. Starting over because the CAD came from the “wrong” software.
I got tired of that workflow, so I built Jointly.
Upload a STEP assembly then get a draft URDF with inferred joints, inertia, collision meshes, and a live 3D preview.
It’s not magic , you’ll still review the result. But it turns hours of manual work into a couple of minutes.
I’d love to test it on real-world assemblies. If you have a CAD file that breaks your current exporter, Try it Now
It’s look like an ergonomic tool that I could use rather than my actual workflow.
Say on user has a private CAD to turn into an URDF, how do you assure him that his files are protected and not publicly accessible? Is there a plan to run it locally?
I understand your concern regarding data privacy .Files are used only for the conversion and deleted after that not used for anything else. No human review, no retention. Let me know if you want more detail on the setup.
This is really cool. I shall try it out. I have a repo that outputs more accurate values for 3D printed parts based on your print settings. Let me know if it is helpful.
