What you can build with MTK

MTK helps you build quoting, DFM, and manufacturing intelligence into your platform. Below are common scenarios where MTK fits into real-world developer workflows.

CAD part preview
From CAD  file to price estimate

Online quoting system

From CAD to price estimate

Import CAD files (STEP, STL), extract geometry and features, compute volume or feature-based pricing for instant quotes.

From CAD  file to price estimate

DFM checks before production

Detect manufacturability issues early

Run draft angle, wall thickness, and radius checks to catch problems before they hit the shop floor.

From CAD  file to price estimate

Sheet metal preparation

Recognize bends and flatten parts

Analyze bends, validate geometry, and generate flattened views for cost estimation or CAM integration.

From CAD  file to price estimate

Design review with geometry markup

Collaborate around CAD models in real time

Use interactive 3D viewer (upcoming annotation tools) to review geometry, flag issues, and streamline collaboration.

From CAD  file to price estimate

Part classification and filtering

Tag and group parts based on geometry

Analyze geometry and features to classify parts by complexity, manufacturability, or process suitability.

From CAD  file to price estimate

Material layout optimization (nesting)

Minimize sheet waste with 2D layout

Automatically arrange parts on sheet material for cutting or fabrication. Reduce waste and improve efficiency.
