Hi everyone,
I’ve developed a generative 3D tool designed to solve a major bottleneck in the metal fabrication industry: closing the gap between understanding designs and accurate production quotes.
The Problem: Traditional manual quoting for custom extruded profiles is hard to describe in flat drawings and prone to dimensional errors.
The Solution & Benefits:
-
Instant Quoting: The engine generates real-time fabrication specs as users draw in 3D, reducing quote turnaround from days to seconds.
-
100% Dimensional Accuracy: By extruding profiles along dynamic paths with precise arc-length calculations, the tool ensures the visual design matches the shop-floor reality.
-
Automated Pipeline: Captures geometric data directly from the scene and pushes it to a PHP/ERP backend, eliminating manual data entry for quoting.
Technical Focus: Built with Three.js for performance, focusing on custom buffer geometries to handle complex profile extrusions and data interpretation for production-ready output.

I’m interested in hearing from anyone working on similar design-to-manufacturing workflows!
