Every 2D drawing hides a 3D model.
We forge it.
DraftForge turns engineering drawings — PDFs, scans, photos — into fully parametric CAD models you can edit and export as STEP/STL. Built API-first so it lives inside Teamcenter and NX, not beside them.
Flat to fabricated in four steps
The pipeline you watch in the Studio is the same one your PLM calls over REST.
Drop any drawing
Native PDFs, 30-year-old scans, even photos. Multi-view, multi-sheet — all welcome.
AI reads it like a drafter
Views, dimension chains, ⌀ / R / ⌴ callouts, tolerances, title blocks — cross-referenced into one consistent picture.
A parametric model is forged
Not a dumb mesh: a feature tree with named parameters, built on the OpenCascade kernel.
Tune, rebuild, export
Drag a parameter, regenerate in seconds, download STEP AP214 or STL — or pull it via API.
Built for engineers who've seen demos before
No mesh tricks, no black boxes — geometry and APIs you can take to production.
Reads real-world drawings
Trained vision that handles scanned, skewed, and stamped sheets — and tells you what it couldn't read instead of guessing.
Parametric by contract
Every dimension becomes a named parameter with bounds. The recipe JSON is the model — store it, diff it, regenerate it.
Real B-rep solids
OpenCascade geometry, not triangle soup. Watertight STEP AP214 that drops straight into NX, SolidWorks, or CATIA.
Self-repairing pipeline
Kernel rejections and validation errors are fed back to the AI, which corrects its own feature tree before you ever see a failure.
API-first for PLM
REST + webhooks designed for Teamcenter dispatcher modules, NX Open journals, and Active Workspace commands.
Your data, your infra
Runs on-prem or in your VPC. Your drawings never have to leave the building.
A drawing goes in your vault.
A STEP file comes out.
Submit from a dispatcher module, get a webhook when the model is forged, attach the STEP to the item revision — and keep the recipe JSON so you can mint size variants without ever redrawing.

→ BRK-2041.step ✓ AP214, watertightAnd the other way too:
3D → production drawings.
Drop a vendor-neutral STEP and Draft2D forges the orthographic views, hidden lines, centerlines, hole callouts, sections and a QA audit — deterministically, no LLM in the loop. Configurable to your shop's drafting standard.
