AI review for 3D models
The AI reads the STEP file itself and pins every finding to the face it is about, before your team looks.
What it checks
Without a profile, the standard review checks the model the way a senior design engineer would before release: can it be made, and can it be put together. Review profiles for 3D models.
- Parts: features that are hard or impossible to make with the process the part is made for, such as machining, sheet metal or 3D printing.
- Assemblies: parts that clash, do not fit together or cannot be assembled.
- With a review profile for 3D models, it also checks against your rules.
- A profile can carry reference documents, such as your design guide. The AI then checks the model against them and names the page a finding is based on.
Findings on the model
Each finding becomes a comment from Pen, pinned to the face it is about.
- A finding that occurs in several places highlights all of them when you open it.
- Reply to a finding or resolve it like any comment. A new review sees the discussion so far.
- Findings are suggestions, not verdicts. Your team decides.
Credits and model size
A review costs credits by the size of the STEP file.
- Up to about 120 KB: 10 credits.
- Up to about 360 KB: 20 credits.
- Up to about 620 KB: 30 credits.
- A larger model is too large for an AI review for now. Write to support and we raise the limit for your team.
The example model
Try with example model on the CAD review page puts a sheet metal tray in your account. Its first AI review costs no credits, so you can see what the review finds before uploading your own model.
