Could you build this?
Partial Extracting precise GD&T tolerances, characteristic callouts, and drawing balloons for AS9102 aerospace compliance requires specialized computer vision and engineering CAD/drawing parsing far beyond simple OCR.
What it would actually take: Requires a pipeline combining vector PDF extraction, high-resolution rendering, and specialized computer vision / OCR models (e.g., custom YOLO or fine-tuned vision models) trained on engineering drawings and ANSI/ISO GD&T symbology. Outputs must map directly to strict AS9102 Rev C Form 3 schemas with high tolerance accuracy. Engineering drawing domain expertise and aerospace QA validation are essential.
