http://Prototyping.io is building autonomous manufacturing systems to turn CAD designs into high-quality mechanical parts as fast as one day. They’re already saving weeks on hardware iteration cycles for multi-billion dollar companies by delivering high-quality parts, while doing $400k in monthly revenue. Congrats on the launch, @Revanth279 & @ThePreritOberai! https://ycombinator.com/launches/QFc-prototyping-io-autonomous-manufacturing-for-mechanical-parts…
Prototyping - Autonomous manufacturing for mechanical parts
Source: https://www.prototyping.io/ Our Vision
Building a system that automates critical steps between CAD design and finished parts — reducing manual work, delays, and inefficiencies.
- Step01 ### Capture Design Intent Upload your 3D models. Our AI agent extracts features and captures functional and design intent.

- Step02 ### Manufacturability Analysis Evaluate designs for manufacturability & Identify potential issues early, saving weeks of back and forth

- Step03 ### Production Planning Determine optimal manufacturing process, machines, and sourcing strategy based on cost, lead time and complexity

- Step04 ### Production Execution Generate machine programs, execute manufacturing, and manage quality control

- Step05 ### Finished Parts Receive finished parts with faster turnaround, high-quality output and at lower costs
