ARCNM

Know what any part should cost — and why.

ARCNM is the world's most advanced deep manufacturing intelligence platform: physics-first should-cost with precision AI in every layer. It recognises every feature and tolerance in your 3D model and drawing, plans the manufacturing process and machines, simulates setup and cycle times, then decomposes the cost across the lot-size curve — so every number on the quote traces back to manufacturing first principles, not a black-box guess. Physics is the unbreakable ground truth; AI reads, recognises, plans and calibrates on top of it. API-first and MCP-native, for your code, your AI agents, and your automations.

What ARCNM does

ARCNM is physics-first manufacturing intelligence for manufactured parts. Given 3D geometry (STEP/STP/STL), a 2D drawing (PDF/DXF), and a batch size, it returns an auditable should-cost — material, setup, cycle time, labour, overhead and unit price across a lot-size curve — and the full extracted part data behind it. First-principles physics is the ground truth; precision AI works in every layer, reading drawings, recognising features, planning the process and calibrating to your shop.

Deep feature & PMI extraction

Precision AI and a B-rep geometry engine recognise holes, pockets, faces, bosses, bends, slots, chamfers and threads from 3D, while vision-language models read dimensions, tolerances, GD&T and surface finish from the 2D drawing (ISO 286, 14405, 1101, 5459, 7200, 16792, 21920). Every feature and all PMI come back as structured, typed, versioned data — a first-class output you can reuse for master-data management, ERP/PLM backfill or similarity search.

Manufacturing-process physics

AI classifies the discipline (milling, turning, sheet metal, casting, wire EDM, grinding) and plans the operations and machines; physics handlers compute setup and cycle time from first principles, then a lot-size curve surfaces the unit price and the break-points at every quantity — calibrated to your shop, with a confidence interval on every number.

Built for code and AI agents

A single REST call (POST /v1/extract) plus an MCP server let your services, AI agents, and iPaaS automations price parts natively. Every quote is fully auditable back to the parameter that produced each number.

Pay only for results

€0.89 per successful extraction, €0 on failed or duplicate calls. Free to start with €15 credit and 50 calls a month — no credit card required.
