APG, or autonomous process generator, is our AI-native geometry engine that runs an instant cost-driven DFM.
ISO & ASME auto-detection — reads tolerances & finishes directly from your STEP file
Export transparent quotes within minutes of analysis
View milling and toolpath process details (cycle time, setup time, etc) and reduce human CAM programming time
Hybrid routing – auto‑selects CNC, EDM, AM, welding for optimal flow
Instant re‑planning – updates when machines, tools, or priorities shift (<10 min)
FacOS is a 10,000 node based engine that orchestrates every machine, robot, and quality checkpoint in real-time—transforming disconnected CNC equipment into a unified, self-optimizing production system.
Closed-loop quality control: CMM and in-machine probing feed back instantly, auto-correcting tool offsets without human intervention
High-mix SKU flexibility: Our universal fixture system and dynamic scheduling handle thousands of part variants with minimal changeover delay
70% OEE: 2x the industry benchmark, running 22 hours/day with minimal labor
Built for industry compliance:
ISO 9001: Quality management foundation
ISO 13485: Medical devices
ISO 14001: Environmental management
AS9100: Aerospace & defense
Quality Management System (QMS) is built around closed-loop metrology. Parts are sampled through Zeiss CMM inspection, with measurement data feeding directly back to FacOS and APG.
First Article Inspection (FAI): CMM validates initial parts against GD&T; deviations auto-update tool offsets
In-Process Quality Control (IPQC): Statistical sampling during production runs with real-time SPC charting
Full Traceability: Material lot, machine ID, tool history, and inspection results linked to every part
Autonomous Compensation: For tolerances <15μm, FacOS triggers few-shot correction cycles—probe, adjust, re-cut—without operator intervention
