He feeds the isometric drawings into the tool and it gives an Excel file as an output with all the details that you need regarding types of welds, carbon steel vs stainless steel etc.
Besides the welds cant you get the same data in table form from most design software??
ETA: As stated in my earlier post I finally was able to watch the video and the initial article sells the capabilities short. The app actually performs a full material take off (MTO). Pretty damn impressive

I know Cory a little bit through work. Our companies do work together from time to time. I sent him this thread, and he said if anyone is interested in learning more about it you can hit him up.

Someone explained this math to me. The first sentence says that it takes 1 minute per drawing. However it can do 100 drawings in 5 minutes?
A drawing that took 10 minutes now takes one minute.
It also has the capability of doing less complicated drawings at a rate of 20 drawings per minute.
Got it. Thanks.

Are you suggesting a lone software engineer could have single-handedly thwarted the entire progress of AI?

Of course not. I’m lumping them all in.

A lot of file formats are just structured plain text files. Seems to be what a .dxf is too.
Parse text file -> programming languange data structure(s) -> output to desired data format
I asked one of the free AI chatbots for a program that recursively searches a directory for dxf files then parses them and counts the welds. It spit out an easy to understand <100 line python script.
So many companies are manually moving data. There is a lot of opportunity for easy automation wins.

I’m curious if it has the capabilities to place FW’s as needed for shipping of spools. How does it, or can it address continuations on other ISOs?
I still have takeoffs done to bump against the BOM’s we get from the engineering firms. Surprised at the number of errors we still have.

Isn’t mechanical one of the hardest engineering degrees?
Not really. It’s fairly typical of the engineering disciplines. I would not say easier or harder than the others. Of the classic disciplines, electrical and chemical are usually considered the hardest, but I don’t think they actually are. Their reputation is due to the intangible nature of the physics involved.

Hey Claude copy this guys work and make it 15% better.

This is exactly where I was headed but if you watch the video it looks like it counts every connection. So maybe it counts the called out FWs as FWs and the other connections that aren't bolted as shop welds.

yeah, his math is a little off, he says his program can do the drawing in "batches" saying it can do 10 drawings at the same time, maybe he meant more that 10 drawing in a minute. 10 drawing X 5 minutes is not 100.
