STEP Reader
Analyses STEP files and returns geometric data (volume, surface, bounding box), classifies the machining technology (turning, milling or sheet metal) and extracts features like holes — all via API.
To the STEP Reader →Three specialised microservices automate reading technical drawings, analysing STEP files, and decomposing assemblies. Integrate via REST API with your ERP, quoting tool, or webshop configurator.
Each service solves a specific task in quoting or order processing — and each can be used standalone.
Analyses STEP files and returns geometric data (volume, surface, bounding box), classifies the machining technology (turning, milling or sheet metal) and extracts features like holes — all via API.
To the STEP Reader →Reads technical drawings automatically: dimensions, tolerances, threads, materials, surface treatments and GD&T symbols. Structured JSON output, ready to use in quoting and work prep.
To the PDF Reader →Extracts individual parts from complex assemblies, returns count, dimensions and material properties — and distinguishes purchased parts (screws, fasteners) from manufactured parts. Ready for ERP routings and procurement.
To the Assembly Decomposer →REST APIs integrate with any toolchain — we deliver the endpoints, you skip the in-house development.
The Assembly Decomposer auto-populates your ERP with bills of materials. STEP Reader provides material weights for stock planning. No more manual transfer from CAD.
Have an existing quoting tool? Use STEP Reader and PDF Reader as pre-processing — geometry and drawing data arrive structured into your logic.
Your customers upload CAD files — you deliver instant pricing. STEP Reader extracts geometry in seconds, PDF Reader adds tolerances and surfaces.
PDF Reader structures drawing data for work prep — dimensions, tolerances, threads — as JSON instead of typed manually. Saves 10-15 minutes per request.
The Assembly Decomposer auto-identifies purchased parts — screws, bearings, fasteners — and hands them directly to purchasing, separate from manufactured parts.
STEP Reader classifies parts by machining technology (turning, milling, sheet metal). Routing in your production planning runs automatically.
After our intro call you get sandbox credentials — free, no setup. Endpoint, docs and example requests included.
Send STEP or PDF files to the endpoint and verify the JSON response in your environment. We support your first roll-out — by phone, on a call, or with a pull request to your repo.
Switch to the production endpoint with an individual volume plan. Monitoring, SLA and support per agreement. Self-hosting on request.
Microservices are priced individually by volume and integration depth. Get in touch — we discuss your use cases and put together a tailored model.
30 minutes — you show us your current workflow, we show you which microservices fit and what a concrete integration would look like.
