HOW IT WORKS

FROM INQUIRY
TO FINISHED PART.

Three steps. Your team stays in charge of the last one.

The three steps

01

The inquiry arrives

A CAD model, a technical drawing and a quantity - the same things your customers already e-mail you. No re-modelling, no CAM seat.

STEP model · PDF drawing
→
02

The job is planned

Features are recognised, operations sequenced across your machines and tool magazines, and NC code generated and simulated against the model.

Milling · Turning · Multi-machine
→
03

You review and release

Check what came out and release it. If an operation is not how you would run it, change it in the 3D workspace and the NC rebuilds around it. Today, that is where your team takes over.

Operator approval always required
KinetiCAD 3D editor - operations, toolpath and validation for a part
KinetiCAD schedule - committed jobs, maintenance and coolant service
UNDER THE HOOD

WHAT THE
ENGINE DOES

STEP 01

Model and drawing ingestion

The STEP model is parsed into geometry (faces, edges, holes, pockets, turned profiles) while the PDF drawing is read for the tolerances, finishes and notes that never make it into the 3D file.

STEP 02

Feature recognition

Machinable features are identified and labelled, and the views the system needs to be confident about them are rendered and checked, so nothing on the part is missed.

STEP 03

Process planning

Operations, tools, strategies and cutting parameters are chosen against the machines, controls and tool magazines the shop actually has - including routing a part across a lathe and a mill.

STEP 04

NC generation & verification

Strategy generators emit the G-code and an assembler stitches it into the final program. No language model touches the NC path - a wrong block can destroy a workpiece, a tool or a spindle, so that part stays deterministic on purpose. Every program is then cut in a material-removal simulation and compared against the CAD model: material left behind and material taken wrongly are both measured, and if either exceeds threshold the program is not released.

ROADMAP

WHERE THIS
GOES NEXT.

Today the platform automates everything up to the machine: the plan, the programs, the price and the slot. What it does not do yet is move the part. That is the half we are building next - a robot that loads the machine, takes the part out when the operation finishes, and hands it to the next machine on the route until the part is done.

PLANNED

Robots that move the part

Loading and unloading planned alongside the machines they serve, and the transfer between them, so a job covers the whole route rather than stopping at each spindle.

PLANNED

Laser cutting & sheet

Extending planning and program generation beyond milling and turning into sheet processing.

PLANNED

ERP & MES integration

Quotes, jobs and capacity flowing straight into the systems a shop already runs on.

PLANNED

Lights-out production

Enough verification and scheduling confidence to run the chain unattended, and put the finished part away without anyone on the floor.

Quote it today. Run it tomorrow.

We're onboarding pilot shops now. Send us a STEP file, a drawing and a quantity, and we'll plan it across machines like yours, program it and price it with you.
