Manufacturability checks on the 3D model, not just the drawing
Upload a STEP file and OptiQC analyzes the real B-rep geometry, flags every manufacturability risk on the exact face, edge, or bore, and scores readiness before you cut metal.
- Upload STEP
- Analyze geometry
- Score readiness
- Triage findings
- Export and share
Deterministic geometry analysis on the exact B-rep solid, not LLM guesses. Every threshold is configurable per process.
34 manufacturability checks across 5 processes
From thin walls and sharp internal corners to draft, bend radius, and broken topology. Each check ships with a default trigger you can tune.
Thin wall
WarningWall too thin to machine without deflection or breakthrough.
Thin floor
WarningPocket or feature floor too thin to machine safely.
Sharp internal corner
CriticalRe-entrant inside corner with no radius; a round tool physically cannot reach it.
Small radius
InfoInside fillet smaller than the smallest available end mill.
Pocket corner radius
InfoVertical pocket corner rounded tighter than the tool radius.
Floor fillet
InfoFloor-to-wall fillet that forces a ball or bull-nose cutter and slow finishing.
Small hole
WarningBore below the smallest practical drill diameter.
Deep hole
WarningDepth-to-diameter ratio that makes drills wander or snap.
Flat bottom hole
InfoBlind hole with a flat floor that needs a flat drill or end mill.
Hole near wall
WarningThin remaining ligament between the bore and the nearest solid wall.
Deep pocket
WarningDepth-to-width that needs long, chatter-prone tooling.
Narrow slot
WarningSlot so narrow it needs a fragile, easily broken cutter.
Tall thin rib
WarningStanding wall so slender it deflects and chatters.
Angled hole
WarningHole axis off the spindle axis; needs an angled fixture or 5-axis.
Non-standard hole
InfoDiameter is not a standard drill size; needs reaming, boring, or a special tool.
Intersecting holes
WarningCrossing bores deflect or break the drill where they meet.
Knife edge
WarningA thin, fragile wedge of material that chips during machining.
Undercut
WarningFeature unreachable from the available tool axes.

What is DFM (Design for Manufacturability)?
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) is the practice of designing parts so they can be produced reliably, quickly, and at low cost by a given manufacturing process. A DFM review checks a 3D model or drawing against process-specific rules - minimum wall thickness, tool-reachable radii, hole depth-to-diameter limits, draft angles, and bend reliefs - and flags geometry that is expensive, slow, or impossible to make. Catching these issues before production avoids scrapped parts, tooling rework, and quoting delays. OptiQC runs 34 deterministic DFM checks directly on the B-rep geometry of your STEP model across CNC milling, turning, injection molding, and sheet metal, highlighting each finding on the exact face, edge, or bore and explaining why it matters. Every threshold is configurable per process, so the analysis matches your shop's real capabilities.
How does AI technical drawing analysis work?
AI technical drawing analysis automatically reads a 2D engineering drawing and extracts the information a person would normally transcribe by hand: dimensions, tolerances, GD&T callouts, notes, and title-block data. OptiQC detects each dimension, balloons it with a unique number, and builds a structured inspection table ready for First Article Inspection (AS9102), conformance, and NCR reporting. Because the data is captured as structured fields rather than flat text, it can be validated, compared across revisions, and exported without manual re-keying. This removes the slowest, most error-prone step in quality control and produces an audit-ready record in minutes instead of hours. Reviewers stay in control: every extracted value links back to its location on the drawing, so findings are easy to verify, correct, and approve before a report is signed off.
