Description
Upload a 2D engineering drawing (DWG, PDF, scan or phone photo) and FLIP builds a 3D STEP model, then checks it against every dimension on the drawing. You see what matched, what it had to guess, and what needs a second look.

Could you build this?
No Converting 2D engineering drawings into verified 3D CAD models requires advanced computational geometry and proprietary CAD kernel integrations.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an OCR/vector parser for orthographic projections and GD&T symbols coupled with a solid modeling engine like Open CASCADE or Parasolid. The hard part is multi-view 3D reconstruction, constraint solving, and generating valid, watertight STEP geometry from ambiguous or hand-drawn sketches, which represents an open research problem in mechanical CAD.
