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.
