About REV1
Summary
REV1 automates the conversion of 3D CAD models into fully annotated, production-ready 2D manufacturing drawings for mechanical engineers. Its software applies GD&T controls and tolerance values according to ASME Y14.5-2018 standards, capturing functional intent automatically. The product replaces a manual, hours-long drafting process that consumes over a quarter of a mechanical engineer's working time.
