Dirac (BuildOS)
BuildOS uses AI that reasons over structured manufacturing data to sequence assemblies from CAD, generate 3D animated work instructions, and propagate engineering changes to the floor.
What it does and how it connects
BuildOS is Dirac platform for automation that connects engineering to manufacturing. It keeps PLM, MES, and ERP speaking the same language in one living model, where changing the design or the process updates everything downstream automatically, and design intent becomes production-ready execution in five steps from CAD to the factory floor.
A CAD file is uploaded in STEP, SLDASM, or JT format, or connected directly from PLM, and BuildOS loads the model and bill of materials, preserves CAD hierarchy, and suggests a recommended assembly order. The Virtual Build Workflow auto-sequences the assembly, flags collisions before they reach the floor, condenses repetitive steps into clusters, kits, and combinations, and builds the manufacturing BOM including consumables and wires.
BuildOS generates 3D animated work instructions that operators follow on the floor, with review of the bill of process, requirements, PMI, and bill of characteristics in one place, and engineering changes that auto-apply past associations when parts reappear. Execution data and shop-floor feedback are collected against work orders, serial numbers, or lots, and cycle times are analyzed against standard times in a Runs Dashboard kept in sync with MES and ERP.

AI agents that generate and execute engineering design workflows across the existing toolstack, rather than a platform that turns CAD into factory-floor work instructions.
- Foundation EGI
A platform that detects features from 3D CAD and auto-generates GD&T drawings, process plans, and documentation, rather than a platform that turns CAD into sequenced assemblies and work instructions.
