BETA

PPAP data (characteristics and BOM) is in beta. Auto-ballooned drawings are in development.

  • Characteristics list: every dimension, thread, and finish keyed to a balloon number with nominal and tolerance (live)
  • Bill of Materials extraction with per-material stock roll-up (live)
  • AS9102-style characteristic tables: nominal, +/− tolerance, source (live)
  • Auto-ballooned drawings: numbered bubbles overlaid on each dimension (in development)
  • #### Advanced Sheet Metal Quoting & AI Takeoff

    BETA · VALIDATED ON VECTOR FLAT-PATTERNS

  • Flat pattern bounding envelope extraction (Length x Width) and material gauge thickness verification
  • Automated linear perimeter inch calculation for high-accuracy laser/plasma cutting cycle times
  • Intelligent bend line and flange counting mapped directly to isometric/folded profile views
  • Dual-pass auditing pipeline with automated self-correction for high-accuracy geometric feature extraction
  • #### Sovereign Infrastructure (On-Prem Core)

    IN DEVELOPMENT · Q4 2026 · JOIN THE WAITLIST

  • Fully isolated on-premise deployment, so prints never leave your network
  • Strict process isolation with rebuilt-from-primitives vector translation
