Every quote starts with reading the drawing — 20-30 minutes of manual transcription where the costliest errors are born. MachinePilot's AI Vision extracts dimensions, ISO tolerances, Ra roughness, threads and GD&T symbols from STEP, IGES, DXF, PDF and even smartphone photos, with a 4-level guardrail that blocks hallucinations.
STEP and IGES (3D B-Rep), 2D DXF, scanned paper PDFs, JPG/PNG from photos: no manual conversion, everything normalized automatically.
Each extracted dimension is highlighted on the drawing: click on dimension → immediate highlight. Verify in seconds what you used to read in half an hour.
Extractor → Validator → Reasoner → Safety Score: uncertain data is blocked, not invented. Below safety score 70 the output doesn't pass.
Holes, threads, grooves, pockets, chamfers, fillets classified by severity (info/warn/alert): machinability issues emerge before pricing.
Even a photo of the drawing on the workbench: rotations and shadows are compensated.
Extracted dimensions appear as colored bounding boxes. Correct inline where needed: the quote recalculates in real time.
The analysis feeds cycle, times and costs: from drawing to signable PDF without retyping anything.
