Authors - Hector Rafael Morano Okuno Abstract - One of the applications of LLMs (Large Language Models) has been their use as assistants, enabling users to perform specific tasks via prompts, from solving mathematical problems to generating images or videos. This article aims to explore the capabilities of an LLM in generating scripts for the API (Application Programming Interface) of the CAD software Fusion 360, identify the types of geometries it can create, and determine whether it can reproduce images in CAD models. This work was developed during the Manufacturing Systems Automation course for Mechatronics Engineering students, with the intention of introducing them to the use of LLMs in their field. Among the find-ings, it was determined that the user must be familiar with the Fusion 360 API to correct potential errors in the scripts generated by the LLM. Furthermore, the user must be able to specify, via prompts, the characteristics of the parts to be modeled, ensuring that the specifications are compatible with the instructions Fusion 360 understands. Regarding students' experience with LLMs, they found them useful, as they saved time in designing components that require complex automation systems.
