# Re:CAM — AI CNC Drawing Intelligence

> Re:CAM is AI that reads CNC engineering drawings. Upload a PDF and get every specification on the drawing — threads, tolerances, surface finishes, datums, secondary processes, and quality requirements — extracted and organized, each with a confidence score and a reference back to where it appears on the drawing, with conflicts and ambiguities flagged automatically. Part Drawing Intelligence is free and unlimited, is ITAR registered and ITAR compliant, and runs in a secure Gov-Cloud environment.

## Built-in AI assistant — not your average chatbot

**Chat CNC is not a general-purpose chatbot.** It is built on deep CNC domain knowledge — GD&T, tolerances, materials, secondary processes, surface finish, and more — so it reads your drawing like a machinist. Ask about tolerances, material, machining risk, or quoting gotchas and get answers grounded in the drawing, with sources. No searching, no cross-referencing. Just ask.

Example: "What are the tightest tolerances?" → "The tightest tolerance is ±0.001″ on the bore diameter (Feature #3). Two additional features are held to ±0.005″. All three exceed standard milling capability and will likely require grinding or honing."

## Customer quote

"I really like it! It's breaking apart everything, and giving me detail. That to me is very helpful as a quick snapshot, where I can just work right off this page and not have to do extra manual notes as I'm digging through a print." — Tom, CNC Job Shop Estimator

## How it works

**Upload a drawing. Get the full picture.**

1. **Upload** — Drop in an engineering drawing. Upload a PDF drawing as it comes from your customer — no special formatting required. Have a STEP file too? Drop it in for an interactive 3D view of the part alongside the analysis. Your files and shop data are yours — your data is never shared, always encrypted.

2. **Analyze** — Get a structured breakdown of everything that matters. Threads, tolerances, surface finish, secondary processes, quality and compliance requirements — extracted, interpreted, and organized. Every extraction includes a confidence score and source reference. Ambiguities and conflicts flagged before they become problems.

3. **Act** — Plan with full information. Work with confidence. Use the analysis to quote accurately, plan machining strategy, and share structured reports with programmers, quality, and the shop floor — before committing to a job. Have a question about tolerances, material, or risk? Ask directly and get answers grounded in the drawing. No more surprises after the PO is signed.

## What gets extracted

Everything on the drawing — nothing missed:

- Threads
- Material & complexity
- Tolerances
- Surface finish
- Datums
- Secondary processes
- Quality & compliance
- Certifications & standards
- Conflicts & ambiguities
- Notes & special instructions

## Why Re:CAM — manual review vs. Re:CAM

- **Drawing review:** Manual = highlighter, spreadsheet, 20–30 min per part. Re:CAM = upload a drawing, get a full breakdown in seconds.
- **Threads & callouts:** Manual = read every note, every view, transcribe manually. Re:CAM = every thread in one table, sourced and verified.
- **Conflict detection:** Manual = hope someone catches the contradictory callout. Re:CAM = flagged automatically before you quote or program.
- **Secondary processes:** Manual = explicit callouts only; inferred requirements missed. Re:CAM = catches what's called out and what's not — if a spec implies deburr, edge breaks, or pre-plating prep, it's flagged.
- **Quality requirements:** Manual = scattered across notes, title blocks, and customer docs. Re:CAM = organized in one section (PPAP, FAI, CMM, certs).
- **Follow-up questions:** Manual = re-read the drawing, flip between views, check your notes. Re:CAM = ask about any detail (tolerances, material, risks, machining) and get an instant, sourced answer.
- **Consistency:** Manual = depends on who reviews it and how busy they are. Re:CAM = same thoroughness every time, every part.
- **Cost:** Manual = your time on every job, manually. Re:CAM = free, unlimited drawings, no credit card.
- **Security:** Manual = drawings emailed, shared drives, customer portals, no audit trail. Re:CAM = Gov-Cloud secure, ITAR registered and ITAR compliant; your drawings and data never leave U.S. soil — no export, no third-party access.

## Who builds Re:CAM

## Coming soon — machining automation

**End-to-end machining programs for 3-axis parts.** Drawing intelligence is just the beginning. Re:CAM technology will soon generate complete machining strategies & simulations, G-code, and setup sheets for 3-axis prismatic parts — CAD to cut in minutes, no CAM license or deep CAM knowledge required.

- **No CAM seat required** — Complete machining programs without a CAM license or CAM interface to learn.
- **Full simulation review** — Review every setup and operation before anything goes near your machine.
- **Pay per part** — No seat fees, no annual license. Pay only for G-code you export. Drawing analysis stays free.

**How is Chat CNC different from ChatGPT or a regular chatbot?** Chat CNC is not your average chatbot. It is built on deep CNC domain knowledge — GD&T, tolerances, materials, secondary processes, surface finish, and more — so it reads your drawing like a machinist, not a general-purpose chatbot. Every answer is grounded in your specific drawing and cites its source, rather than guessing from general knowledge.

**Who is Re:CAM for?** CNC machine shops, job-shop estimators, programmers, and quality teams who review engineering drawings for quoting and manufacturing. It's built for the shop floor.

**Does Re:CAM generate G-code?** Drawing intelligence is live today. End-to-end machining programs — machining strategy, simulation, G-code, and setup sheets for 3-axis prismatic parts — are coming soon, with early access available by waitlist. No CAM seat required.

**Who builds Re:CAM?** Re:CAM is an innovation team within Re:Build Manufacturing, built by people who've spent years in manufacturing — designing industrial AI, building frontline-worker tools, and publishing peer-reviewed research on how AI should work in real shops.
