An AI copilot for
hardware engineering teams.
Kunstruct brings your company's knowledge, drawing standards, and manufacturability guidance into the release flow, inside the CAD and PLM systems you already run. Catch issues while the design is still cheap to change.
Live now · your first 3 drawing reviews are free · no installThe feedback your design needs
shows up one release too late.
Design engineers release the drawing, reviewers redline it, and then the drawing meets the machine: a machinist says "I can't hold this tolerance," a supplier sends it back overpriced, and the loop restarts. The knowledge that would have prevented it existed inside your company the whole time. It just arrived too late to be cheap.
Knowledge Transfer Gap
Hard-won engineering judgment lives in senior engineers' heads, not in a system the next engineer can use.
Knowledge walks out the door with retirement and turnover, and past ECO, supplier, and program lessons never reach the new hire.
Drawing Review Tax
Engineers wait days for redlines, and drawings still leave review with missing callouts, wrong tolerances, or incomplete specs.
Lost engineering hours, slower release cycles, and senior engineers spending their week on routine redlining.
Redesign Loop
A machinist or supplier looks at the released drawing and says it cannot be made as drawn, or not at that price.
Another engineering cycle, another quote, schedule slip, and expedite fees. The most expensive way to learn about a design problem.

Your company's engineering knowledge,
in every design.
Kunstruct brings company knowledge, drawing standards, and manufacturability guidance into the release flow, so issues get caught while the design is still cheap to change.
Get it right before it gets kicked back.
Earlier feedback, drawing checks against real standards, and answers from past programs without hunting for the one person who knows.
Less routine redlining. More real engineering.
Fewer repeat questions and repeat markups, and a way to scale your hard-won judgment across the team instead of re-teaching it one review at a time.
Capacity, release velocity, and knowledge that stays.
Lower rework cost, faster releases, and institutional knowledge that survives turnover, inside the engineering systems you already run.
Manufacturing and quality get cleaner handoffs. IT and security get deployment controls, zero data retention, and no changes to the existing CAD and PLM environment.
Watch a review run start to finish.
Geometry in, verified callouts and a report out. This is the fastener workflow from our GD&T Advisor running on a sample turbofan model.
One copilot for
design engineering.
Kunstruct takes a design engineer from customer requirements to a released drawing. The Drawing Review tool is live and free to try today. The rest of the copilot is working in-house and being prepared for integration into customer systems.
Kunstruct follows a design engineer's release flow, in order. Watch the full flow in the walkthrough further down the page.
Reads the customer requirements package and extracts every requirement that drives the design.
Searches your PDM for the closest past programs and parts, so no one starts from a blank screen.
Compares the matched baseline to the new requirements and recommends what must change: material, hardware, geometry.
Checks manufacturability directly on live 3D geometry and pins every issue to the model, with cost and supplier context.
Checks drawings against ASME Y14.5, DFM guidelines, and your internal standards in seconds.
Try it live →The daily engineering math, run in seconds with every calculation shown.
Converts ± location tolerances to positional tolerances with the Y14.5 fastener math shown step by step.
Worst-case and RSS limits for any dimension chain, with each contributor ranked.
Preload and installation torque for any fastener, grade, and lube condition, ready for drawing notes.
Runs the classical hand calculations for your joints and sections and writes the margin summary, ready for checking.
The paperwork that gets designs released, reviewed, and accepted: change orders, inspection packages, compliance evidence, and customer-facing review decks.
Compares two drawing revisions, itemizes every change, and drafts a PDM-ready change order in Word.
Diffs two BOM exports by part number: added, removed, quantity and attribute changes.
Balloons the drawing and builds the AS9102-style characteristic list for first article inspection.
Extracts every requirement from a customer spec into a compliance matrix with verification columns.
Turns your analysis, drawings, and results into a formatted engineering report with figures and references.
Upload a past review deck and Kunstruct builds this project's presentation in the same template: compliance status, design status, open items.
Reads the assembly and BOM and drafts step-by-step assembly instructions or a customer-facing installation guide.
Requirements flow-down, build planning, program management, and whatever your workflow needs next. The copilot grows wherever engineering hours are being lost to paperwork.
Interested in fitting Kunstruct to your release flow?
One copilot, any hardware platform.
If it has fasteners, tolerances, and a drawing package, Kunstruct speaks its language. The same checks that catch a bad bolt circle on a jet engine catch it on a surgical instrument.
What does your company need?
Your release process, your build plans, and your quality checks are unique to your company. Tell us where your engineers lose their hours and we will build the copilot for it, then demo it working inside your workflow. If it feeds your PLM, MES, or QMS, we will make it fit.
Your stack stays.
We build around it.
Every company has its own design release, build plan, and quality flow, running on systems that took years to stand up. Kunstruct never asks you to replace them. Our tools read and write the documents your process already produces, so your CAD, PLM, MES, and QMS stay exactly where they are and your teams keep working the way they know.

On-premise deployment
Run Kunstruct inside your own network. Drawings, models, and specs never leave your infrastructure — there is nothing to leak.
Your data is never training data
Files are processed for your review and nothing else. No training on customer data, no retention beyond your session unless you opt in.
ITAR-aware for defense suppliers
For export-controlled programs: US-person handling and deployment options designed for ITAR and EAR environments, available when your work requires it.
“GD&T and drawing review — getting real-time feedback on repetitive or missing measurement callouts would significantly improve efficiency.”
