Building a system that automates critical steps between CAD design and finished parts — reducing manual work, delays, and inefficiencies.

  1. Step01 ### Capture Design Intent Upload your 3D models. Our AI agent extracts features and captures functional and design intent. Engineer reviewing a 3D CAD model on screen
  2. Step02 ### Manufacturability Analysis Evaluate designs for manufacturability & Identify potential issues early, saving weeks of back and forth Manufacturability analysis of a precision metal part
  3. Step03 ### Production Planning Determine optimal manufacturing process, machines, and sourcing strategy based on cost, lead time and complexity Factory floor with production machines and planning view
  4. Step04 ### Production Execution Generate machine programs, execute manufacturing, and manage quality control CNC machine cutting a precision part
  5. Step05 ### Finished Parts Receive finished parts with faster turnaround, high-quality output and at lower costs Rows of finished precision-machined metal parts
