SourceOptima reads your drawings the way a senior engineer would - GD&T, tolerances, materials, threads, geometry - and runs continuous design-for-X checks across your whole portfolio. Every release. Every revision.
Stop relying on a senior engineer's pattern recognition. SourceOptima runs the same checks on every drawing, every time, and ranks the issues by impact.
Read the GD&T frames, simulate how tolerances interact in the assembly, flag high-risk stacks before they reach the shop floor.
Calculate theoretical weight from extracted geometry. Drawing says 5kg, geom says 8kg → caught immediately.
"You're designing a bracket 98% similar to Part #442-A." Before tooling, before qualification, before duplicate spend.
Part number, revision, material callout, finish, project - all extracted, normalized, and reconciled against your PLM namespace.
Spot under-dimensioned features the way a manufacturing reviewer would - but on every drawing, not just sampled ones.
"Modifying this hole diameter affects 4 downstream assemblies and 12 active ECOs." Crosses CAD + PLM metadata.
Material callouts checked against REACH, RoHS, conflict-mineral, and carbon-footprint databases - before release.
Theoretical cost from material volume + complexity + finish + commodity prices. Negotiation leverage on day one.
SourceOptima reads each GD&T frame, traces the dimensional chain across mating features, and simulates the worst-case and statistical stack. Risky stacks get ranked, with the offending features highlighted.
When a new drawing comes in, SourceOptima fingerprints the geometry and searches your existing library. Highly similar parts surface immediately - with their drawings, BOMs, and supplier history attached.
Engineers don't want another tool. They want their existing tools to stop catching mistakes too late.- how we design the engineering experience
No CAD plugin or PLM migration to get started. SourceOptima fits into your existing review process and starts returning value from day one - and connects deeper into your engineering systems when you're ready to scale.
Drop in your existing PDF drawings - no new software for your engineers to install, no change to how they work in CAD or PLM. You're running checks the same afternoon.
A ranked workbook of issues and savings across your active drawings - with direct links to the offending features. Something concrete to bring to your next program review.
New revisions get a delta report automatically. Your team sees what changed, what's at risk downstream, and what can be reused - before anything goes to manufacturing.
Ask in plain English: "show me all parts with ±0.001 tolerance and lead time over 12 weeks." Your institutional knowledge stops living in someone's head.
