Description
For CNC machine shops and estimators: upload a STEP file and CadVex analyzes the geometry, flags DFM issues and builds a cost breakdown you can edit line by line, then a quote on your letterhead. In the browser or as a local Windows/Mac app.

Could you build this?
No Analyzing arbitrary STEP CAD geometry to calculate CNC machining operations, toolpath feasibility, and DFM (Design for Manufacturing) requires sophisticated B-Rep computational geometry kernels.
What it would actually take: The backend requires integrating a heavy boundary representation (B-Rep) geometric modeling kernel such as Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) in C++. The system must extract volumetric cuts, identify undercuts, thin walls, internal radii, and machine tool accessibility to compute accurate cycle times and tool wear. This necessitates specialized mechanical engineering knowledge and computational solid geometry expertise.
