Foundation EGI
Platform that detects features from 3D CAD and auto-generates GD&T drawings, process plans, and technical documentation.
What it does and how it connects
Foundation EGI is an AI platform for engineering automation that transforms 3D designs into precise technical drawings, workstep sequences, and more. The platform automates the most time-consuming engineering tasks from design to manufacturing, starting from CAD geometry.
Technical Drawing produces GD&T drawings with accurate views and dimensions automatically, with AI-assisted feature detection and annotation, multi-view layout generation with no manual placement, and standards-compliant output. Process Planning creates optimized workstep sequencing and production plans automatically from CAD geometry, with CAD-driven operation sequencing, interference and tooling clearance validation, and automated diff analysis between previous and new models.
Catalog generates precise 2D and 3D product catalogs directly from CAD designs, and Translation generates operator and service manuals in multiple languages while preserving technical terminology and document structure. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Dr. Mok Oh, co-founder and chief scientist Prof. Wojciech Matusik of MIT CSAIL, and co-founder and head of research Michael Foshey.
