Digital tools for precision manufacturing
Two working tools we built based on industry research—so you can see the kind of complex, tailored software we can deliver for your real workflow.
How we approached this
We don’t assume we know your exact pain points. Instead, we did research into precision tooling and manufacturing—your kind of work—and designed two tools that address common friction points we found. Think of these as proof-of-concept demos: they show we can build complex, production-ready tools for any need you have, once we understand your real workflow and goals.
Our goal: to demonstrate that we can deliver the right software for your shop, your customers, and your processes—not generic templates.
Customer-facing: Design & Quote
For your buyers and engineers
In plain English
Your customers upload a 3D part file (like a mold or component design). The tool inspects it for common manufacturing issues—like surfaces that would be hard to machine or eject—and highlights those on the model. At the same time, they pick material, number of cavities, and finish options and get an instant price estimate instead of waiting days for a manual quote. Less back-and-forth, faster decisions, and a more modern experience for digital-native buyers.
Demo mode (no file needed)
Click “Load demo model” on the tool page to try it without uploading a file. The demo uses a mold-like part: a base plate, stepped block, cylindrical boss, and pocket—so you can see DFM highlights (draft, thin walls, deep features) and instant quoting in action. Material, cavities, and finish choices update the 3D view: different metals/rubber look, number of part copies (cavities), and polish/laser finish.
Good example inputs to try
- File: Any .STL part (e.g. a small bracket, housing, or connector). The tool estimates volume and complexity from the geometry.
- Material: P20 Steel (typical), Aluminum (lighter cost), or LSR (adds cold-runner logic for silicone).
- Cavities: Number of part impressions in the mold (parts per shot). 1 = single-cavity tool; 4–8 = multi-cavity. The 3D view shows that many copies so you see what you’re quoting.
- Finish: None, Polishing, Laser marking, or both—to see how add-ons affect the total.
Internal: Shop floor & resource dashboard
For your production and planning teams
In plain English
A single screen where your team can see where every job stands (engineering, machining, sampling, quality) and which jobs are slowing down—so you can fix bottlenecks before customers ask. Machine status and “tool life remaining” show when equipment needs attention, so scheduling and maintenance stay ahead of problems. A drag-and-drop planner lets you move projects between machines based on real capacity and priority. Quality and documentation (e.g. dimensional reports, ISO sign-offs) are in one place so sign-off is fast. Everything updates in near real time so sales and floor supervisors work from the same facts.
Good example inputs to try
- Velocity monitor: Watch which projects sit in Engineering vs Machining vs QC; red flags appear when a project’s “velocity” drops below a threshold.
- Machines: Check capacity bars and “tool life remaining” on each machine; low tool life triggers maintenance alerts.
- Resource planner: Drag a project from “Unassigned” onto a machine (e.g. Bridge Mill or Sinker EDM) to assign it, or drag back to unassign—see how reallocation could ease bottlenecks.
- Quality & docs: Scan the table for dimensional reports and ISO sign-offs; use it to see how a unified doc hub could speed sign-off.
