AI-powered CAD analysis
CADSense reviews mechanical engineering drawings, finds dimensioning errors and standards issues, answers your questions, and helps you turn RFQs into offers.
Drawing analysis for manufacturing
CADSense reads every dimension, tolerance and annotation straight from a PDF or a CAD file. It checks them against ISO and DIN requirements and against your own company standards, then flags what needs a fix before the drawing goes to production.
What CADSense does
Analyses CAD files
Views, dimensions, tolerances, symbols and the title block the way an experienced reviewer would.
Checks the standards
Reviews missing, conflicting and duplicated dimensions, against ISO and DIN requirements and against your own company standards.
Explains every finding
Each finding names the standard it comes from, such as ISO 5456-2 or ISO 7200, with a severity, a location on the drawing and a suggested fix.
Answers your questions
Ask about materials, findings, dimensions, tolerances. “Why was this issue flagged?”
Review larger sets
Upload a batch of drawings, documents and supporting files that form a product or entity. CADSense runs a multi-file analysis and reviews them as a whole.
Create offers
Upload CAD files and the client’s RFQ. CADSense analyses them and drafts a quote for you to review and edit before sending.
Where it pays off
Before release. Every new or revised drawing is checked before it goes to production.
Supplier drawings. Incoming drawings are checked against your requirements on arrival.
The archive. Batch-check the drawings you already have to find the recurring problems.
Quoting. RFQ in, draft offer out, with the drawings already analysed.
Security. Guardrails. Your drawings stay yours
Your drawings are never used to train AI models
AI processing in the EU
Every analysis stays inside your own organisation
Full audit trail of who analysed what
Browser-based, nothing to install
REST API for your own systems
Why not just use Claude or ChatGPT?
General-purpose AI can describe a drawing. CADSense is built to review CAD files by processing their data through a multi-step data processing pipeline, then combining those results with LLM reasoning and a curated set of manufacturing knowledge. It chooses AI language models best suited to each task, and its analysis process is tested against a broad set of data.
Consistent, tested reviews
Each file goes through the same review process so the results you and your colleagues get are consistent and reliable. We continuously test and improve how well the analysing process works.
Findings linked to standards
See which standard a finding relates to and where it appears on the drawing. The analysis is informed by curated manufacturing knowledge.
Part of your workflow
Manage projects, analyse full sets of files, check analysis history and create reports. All in one place, with an API for connecting to your other systems.
What you can upload
Work with the files you already have. No conversion required before upload.
PDF drawings
2D CAD files: DXF and DWG
3D models: STEP, SolidWorks, glTF and GLB (available in selected deployments)
3D PDF documents (available in selected deployments)
Multi-file uploads, including multi-view and multi-page drawing sets
Start with your own drawings
Take a drawing you already know well and see what CADSense finds in it. The trial runs for 14 days, there is nothing to install, and a browser is all you need.
Need proof on a larger set? We run a four week pilot on your own drawings. The success criteria are agreed before it starts, so you decide on measured results.
1
Pick a use case
One workflow and a set of your drawings with known errors.
2
Agree on success
What good looks like, and when we meet to decide.
3
Run the pilot
Four weeks on your drawings: accuracy, review time, errors caught.
4
Decide
Go or no-go on the numbers, not on a demo.
