Conversational part design
Plain English — geometry, material, holes, loads, fit. No CAD seat required. A 50-stage pipeline and domain guilds resolve a structured, dimensioned part.
Forges operational
Describe a part. Receive a manufacturable design.
Language models guess; Daedalus computes. It parses your intent into geometry, selects a material, applies GD&T to a real datum frame, runs an analytical stress pass against yield, and generates the CNC program — then hands you the evidence.
THE INSTRUMENT
GD&T on a real datum frame
Not decorative callouts: a chosen datum reference frame with feature control frames an inspector can work from, recorded with the design.
Analytical FEA sanity
An analytical stress pass against real material yield — governing stress, safety factor, deflection — so the geometry is checked, not guessed.
Real materials & standards
Designs are checked against the foundry's material library and domain codes — API, NACE, AS9100 — not a language model's recollection of a datasheet.
CNC-ready output
Export the CNC program for Fanuc, GRBL, Haas, LinuxCNC, or Mach3, plus a parametric OpenSCAD model and the full engineering record.
3D-printing output
Slicing profiles alongside the CNC path, so the same described part can go to the machine shop or the print farm.
