Problem
Manufacturers rely on manual, time‑intensive processes to create technical drawings, work instructions, translations, and catalogs from 3D CAD models, leading to errors, delays, and high engineering overhead.
Solution
Foundation EGI offers an AI‑driven platform that automatically generates production‑ready GD&T drawings, sequenced process instructions, multilingual engineering documentation, and product catalogs directly from CAD data. The system detects features, assigns datums and tolerances, and produces both 3D PMI and 2D outputs that comply with ASME Y14.5 and ISO standards. A conversational DFM copilot lets engineers refine specifications and resolve manufacturability issues in natural language, while the platform continuously learns from prior decisions. Integrated export options deliver documentation to MES/ERP systems, PDFs, web formats, or APIs, ensuring a single source of truth across the product lifecycle. By automating these tasks, the platform reduces documentation time, eliminates transcription errors, and frees engineers to focus on higher‑value design work.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturing engineers, design teams, and documentation specialists at mid‑size to large product companies that need rapid, standards‑compliant engineering documentation.
