Turn CAD files into structured engineering data
We are building the intelligence layer your engineering is missing.
See it in action
Demo coming soon
Live platform metrics
Most tools stop at viewing CAD data. This platform transforms it. Three layers work together to turn raw engineering files into information that's structured, queryable, and ready to act on.
Layer 01
DATABASE
The data foundation — ingested, structured, and accessible.
Layer 02
AGENT
Intelligence that understands and acts on your data.
Layer 03
PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE
A knowledge base specific to your product, built automatically as you work.
Layer one
The intelligence layer
starts with accessible data.
Layer one is everything you need to make engineering data usable: a foundation that extracts and structures it, surfaces that make it accessible anywhere, and infrastructure built to handle real workloads securely.
Foundation, the data layer
01
Automated Documentation Pipeline
Upload a CAD file and our pipeline extracts geometry, builds BOMs, renders 3D views, and generates technical specs automatically. No manual input, no rework.
02
Geometry Processing
Determinism is one of the most important properties for a data layer. Our geometry engine computes exact dimensions, part hierarchies, bounding volumes, and mesh structure directly from CAD geometry. LLMs are powerful, but they hallucinate. This part doesn't.
03
Fast Processing Engine
Average end-to-end processing time is under 3 minutes for most assemblies. Our geometry algorithms are optimized for CAD parsing, part hierarchy detection, and dimension extraction at scale.
04
Scales to Real Workloads
Large assemblies open in seconds, not minutes. The platform is built to handle real engineering workloads up to 10,000+ components without degrading.
Access, anywhere, any device
05
Built-in Augmented Reality
Engineering data that lives only on a screen is only half useful. AR puts full-scale 3D models on-site, in context, without extra apps or headsets. It's the access layer for engineering data in the physical world.
06
Mobile by Design
The phone is the most-used device on the shop floor and in the field. Engineering data that doesn't work on mobile stays locked at the desk. We built for phones first, full 3D viewer, BOMs, and AR, all accessible on any screen without installing anything.
Infrastructure, built for real workloads
07
Cloud-Native Infrastructure
Multi-tenant by default, single-tenant on demand. Built on scalable cloud infrastructure from the start, a prerequisite for the AI workloads ahead.
08
Security and Data Privacy by Design
Encryption and data isolation were built in from day one. Your CAD data is never used for AI training. Single-tenant deployments available for full data control.
Layer two · In development
Once the data is structured,
agents can reason about it.
Layer two is what's coming next: agents and search that work directly against your structured engineering data.
01
Agent-Ready Data Layer
A data layer designed for agents from day one, parts, assemblies, and geometry exposed as structured objects so agents can query, reason, and act on engineering data without parsing raw CAD.
02
Semantic Search Across Engineering Data
Find parts by what they are, not just by name. Search across every assembly you've ever uploaded, by geometry or material.
03
Cross-Assembly Insights
Detect reuse, spot near-duplicates, and surface patterns across your full catalog. Structured geometry makes this tractable, LLMs alone can't.
04
On-Prem & Edge Ingestion
A lightweight on-prem component that ingests CAD files directly from your network. No multi-gigabyte uploads, no data leaving restricted environments, just structured data flowing into your cadop.io tenant.
05
Full Documentation System
Beyond BOMs: test reports, inspection records, change orders, and release packages, all linked to the same structured CAD data. One source of truth for everything that needs to reference a part or assembly.
06
… and a lot more
Revision diffs, supplier collaboration, costing intelligence, ERP/PLM connectors, the roadmap is long. Once the foundation is in place, almost every CAD-adjacent workflow becomes addressable.
Layer three · Product knowledge
A knowledge base
that builds itself.
Layer three is where cadop.io moves beyond processing. Every part, assembly, and relationship it encounters gets retained, building a knowledge base specific to your product, automatically.
How It Works
Drop your CAD file.
Get a Living Document.
01
Step 1, Upload Your CAD file
Upload your CAD file directly in the browser. No software to install. We currently support the STEP format (.stp / .step), more formats are coming.
02
Step 2, Automated Processing
Typically under 3 minutes. Our pipeline breaks down your assembly, measures every part, extracts geometry and metadata, renders images, prepares AR-ready 3D models, and builds a complete document structure. All fully automated.
Explore your 3D model in-browser or on-site with AR. Review auto-generated parts lists and technical data. Share interactive documentation with your team. No exports needed.

One Layer of the Problem
Manual vs Automated CAD Documentation
Documentation is one concrete layer of the engineering-data problem. Automate how it gets created and several problems disappear at once: no manual file management, no software stack dependency, and every output is structured the same way. That consistency is what makes it connectable.
| Feature | Manual Process | With Cadop | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Documentation Time | 2–4 hours per assembly | ~3 minutes avg. | 95% faster |
| Data Entry Errors | 5–15% error rate | < 0.1% error rate | 99.9% accurate |
| Cost per Assembly | €100–200 in labor | €0.58 per assembly | 97% cheaper |
| Format Consistency | Varies by engineer | Standardized templates | 100% consistent |
| Scalability | More assemblies? Hire more people. | Unlimited with same team | Unlimited |
And there’s more you can’t even put a number on
01
Error Elimination
Manual documentation carries a 5–15% error rate. A single wrong part number can mean thousands of Euros in scrapped parts or assembly line stoppages.
02
Real-Time Design Freezes
Generate up-to-date documentation at every design freeze, not just the final one. Your Digital Thread stays current throughout the entire development cycle.
03
Stakeholder Alignment
Non-technical decision-makers can review 3D models and BOMs without CAD licenses. Fewer misunderstandings, faster sign-offs.
04
Knowledge Retention
Documentation lives independently of the engineer who created it. When people leave or switch projects, institutional knowledge stays.
05
Standardization
Every assembly gets the same clean output format. No more inconsistencies between engineers, departments, or locations.
06
Cross-Team Communication
Everyone, from designers to procurement to management, can view 3D models and BOMs without a CAD license. Data reaches downstream teams faster, so follow-up processes start sooner.
07
Scalability
Handle growing project complexity without growing your documentation team. From single parts to thousand-component assemblies, the process stays the same.
08
Productivity
Engineers spend time engineering, not formatting spreadsheets. Automate the repetitive work and focus on what actually moves the project forward.
09
Data Management
All your design data, BOMs, 3D models, specifications, lives in one structured place. No more hunting through shared drives or email chains.
