DIGITAL ENGINEERINGOWNER-REVIEWED OUTPUTS

CAD Factory

CAD Factory turns an approved product definition into organized multi-part CAD outputs, assembly views, reusable STEP and STL files, validation evidence, and a traceable review package.

The recurring work

One repeated problem, made inspectable.

Multi-part engineering work can fragment across mismatched files, unclear quantities, lost orientations, and checks that are no longer tied to the approved revision.

What the system handles

  • Versioned product definitions and frozen parameter sets
  • Named parts, assembly instances, STEP and STL exports
  • Digital geometry, bounds, mesh, support-path, and replay checks
  • Manifests, technical views, validation reports, and checksums

What remains human

Authority stays visible.

A qualified owner or engineer resolves incomplete requirements, chooses among digitally valid alternatives, and authorizes physical testing, slicing, material selection, or production release.

Operating mode

Deterministic

Digital workflow proof · physical validation pending

Versioned definitions and frozen parameters drive named geometry, exports, manifests, and digital checks; engineering judgment remains the release authority.

What has actually passed

Existing build evidence shows six unique part definitions, a three-module assembly, reusable STEP and STL exports, 34 organized review candidates, and deterministic digital validation.

Founder-built operating proof, not a customer case study.

The selected evidence is digital and was inspected from existing artifacts rather than regenerated for this capture pack.

Current limitations

Proof has a boundary.

Physical fit, slicer behavior, G-code, production printability, final lattice selection, and lattice integration are not observed. Digital checks do not guarantee manufacturability.

Pattern this could support elsewhere

A starting pattern, never a promise.

A traceable engineering-preparation pattern that keeps approved inputs, generated files, validation evidence, and unresolved physical decisions tied to one build identity.
