The Challenge
Engineering teams across industrial equipment and automotive OEMs manage mechanical component design, 2D-to-3D reconstruction, pipe routing, harness layout, and sheet metal preparation through manual CAD workflows. Packaging constraints, frequent change requests, and variant complexity stretch concept-to-prototype timelines by weeks on every programme, delaying production readiness and inflating engineering costs.
Key Capabilities
- 2D-to-3D AI Reconstruction EngineConverts multi-angle 2D photographs or sketches into fully exportable, parametric 3D CAD models — eliminating the hours of manual reconstruction that traditionally precede any design iteration.
- Text-to-CAD Generative DesignEngineers describe a component in natural language — material, load case, envelope constraints — and the system generates parametric mechanical geometry ready for downstream simulation and manufacturing.
- CAD-Ready Feasibility ValidatorEvery generated design is scored against manufacturability and cost rules before it advances, catching tooling conflicts, draft-angle violations, and tolerance issues at creation, not review.
- AI-Driven Pipe & Cable Harness RoutingRouting automation using bend-radius, clearance, collision, and manufacturability rules — turning a task that consumed days of specialist time into minutes of guided AI output.
- Sheet Metal Scrap OptimizerAutomates blank flattening, nesting, and bend-sequence planning with cost-aware tooling suggestions — reducing raw material waste and tooling changeover time.
- Variant Complexity HandlerManages packaging constraints and engineering change requests across platform variants without restarting CAD, preserving validated geometry while adapting to new requirements.
The Solution
A GenAI-powered design engine was deployed end-to-end: converting multi-angle 2D images into exportable 3D models, generating mechanical components from natural language prompts through text-to-CAD, and automating pipe/harness routing and sheet metal optimization. Engineers now start iterations from AI-generated baselines instead of building every component from a blank file, with every output pre-scored for manufacturability and cost.
