One STEP file.
A reviewable manufacturing package.

CADMation NXT coordinates intake, BOM intelligence, manufacturing drawings and bounded AI review—then gives the designer an evidence trail they can actually sign off.

00 / THE IDEA

Automation should remove repetition.
Never the designer’s judgment.

CADMation turns a scattered CAD-to-drawing process into one visible run. It shows what it understood, what it plans to draft, what it corrected, and exactly where a person still needs to decide.

01 / INTAKE

Start with the right job.

The designer signs in, selects an assigned project, part and work order, then imports STEP or PartLens geometry. CADMation immediately compares the filename with that context.

SELECTED WORK ORDERWO-24-0817
DESIGN FILEWO-24-0817_LWR_PAD.step
✓ Context match

A mismatch is surfaced before automation begins. Local Mode appears only on a device activated and enabled in the ToolRoom licensing portal.

02 / SMART BOM

See the structure before committing to it.

The assembly becomes an editable bill of materials. CADMation proposes quantities, manufactured or standard classification, stock and nomenclature—while keeping every decision visible.

230DOWEL Ø12STD8

Choose Full Auto for BOM + drawings, or BOM Auto to stop after the structured review.

03 / DRAFT PLAN

Know which parts will be drafted.

Before drawing begins, the run shows the exact manufacturing parts selected by the planning engine and RAG—plus excluded parts and the rule behind each decision.

04 / DRAFT + REVIEW

The reviewer is allowed to repair.

The AI review agent does more than list faults. Within approved deterministic rules, it can apply a repair, rerender the sheet and audit it again. It cannot invent release authority.

05 / RUN EVIDENCE

One page. No archaeology.

Every Full Auto run ends with a plain-language report: what entered the run, what came out, and what still needs a designer.

06 / CONTROL

Two ways to run.
One person accountable.

A
AUTOMATION MODE

Full Auto

Structure the BOM, show the planned manufacturing parts, generate editable 2D drafts, run bounded review and produce the run report.

  • Draft plan visible before execution
  • Repairs limited to approved rules
  • Human-controlled release state
B
AUTOMATION MODE

BOM Auto

Analyze the same geometry and prepare the structured bill of materials, then hand the design back before drawing generation starts.

  • MFG / STD classification
  • Quantity and stock proposals
  • PDF and XLSX handoff

07 / PRIVATE LEARNING

Your corrections become useful.
They do not become public.

CADMation keeps a local design history so your office can improve the system without silently sending private CAD or drawing changes elsewhere.

08 / ANDROID HANDOFF

IN DEVELOPMENT

Release context,
away from the desk.

CADMation Mobile is the planned Android companion for released .cadm packages: assembly, BOM, drawings and release evidence in a focused, read-only handoff.

  • 01 Inspect the assembly and hide or isolate parts
  • 02 Open linked drawings beside the BOM
  • 03 Measure geometry without changing release state
