Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Software Solutions

Bringing AI to Manufacturing and Design Problems

Medema Labs brings state-of-the-art geometry and AI algorithms to the toughest manufacturing and design problems. We are creating tools to augment your CAD/CAM/CAE workflows.

Manufacturing Feedback

More than part cost management

A common challenge in designing new parts is finding the best way to manufacture them. Our analysis tools answer the questions that matter most.

1

Best way to make a part

Determine the optimal stock, process, and sequence for manufacturing a single part — machining, waterjet, or additive.

2

Divide or consolidate

Discover whether a part should be split into multiple pieces, or whether several parts should be combined into one.

3

Additive vs. subtractive

Compare additive and subtractive approaches head-to-head, with time and cost predictions for each.

4

Assembly planning

Find the best way to assemble parts into your finished assembly.

5

Cost prediction

Get baseline time and cost estimates directly from CAD geometry — no manual process planning required.

6

Design simplification

Identify ways to simplify part geometry to further reduce manufacturing time and cost.

Projects

Part Analyzer projects

Medema Part Analyzer is a suite of projects that analyze your CAD parts and assemblies.

How It Works

From CAD file to manufacturing plan

Simply export your part or parts from CAD, tell Part Analyzer about the material and quantity, and let the projects do the rest.

  1. Export from CAD

    Export your part or assembly from any CAD package.

  2. Set material and quantity

    Tell Part Analyzer what the parts are made of and how many you need.

  3. Run the projects

    The modules search across processes, stocks, and strategies to find the best options.

  4. Review time and cost

    Compare multiple ways to make your part, complete with detailed breakdowns.
