ASK THE PART

Talk to your CAD file like you’d talk to your best estimator.

Ask about holes, volume, cost, stock or routing, and get answers grounded in the part’s actual geometry, not a guess. Every answer points you to the exact feature on the 3D model.

The SemantiCAD chat answering whether the NIST test part nist_ftc_08_asme1_rc can be made in-house, with the 5.4 mm holes highlighted on the 3D model

Ask your CAD file anything. See the answer on the model.

Grounded in geometry

Answers come from BRep analysis of the STEP file. “Twenty Ø5.4 holes” means twenty holes, highlighted on the model.

From question to plan

Operations, setups, lead time and a full cost breakdown in one reply, with stock status and a make/buy call.

Flags what needs a human

Uncertain thread depths, suspicious diameters and missing stock are called out before they turn into a bad quote.

GEOMETRIC PARSING

Why can’t an AI just read the drawing?

It can read the text on it. It can’t measure the part. SemantiCAD works from the solid model, and every number tells you which of the two it came from.
