Agreement Number:
1034325
Agreement Value:
$175,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jul 28, 2025 - Jul 31, 2026
Description:
This project develops an end-to-end demonstration of Metafold's Geometric Intelligence™ technology for analyzing large datasets of 3D CAD geometry. We will create a proprietary dataset of 10,000+ labeled CAD models and build enhanced algorithms for similarity detection, complexity analysis, and manufacturing method classification. The project includes developing a front-end navigator interface and conducting case studies demonstrating applications in manufacturing analysis, cost estimation, and design optimization. This work showcases how advanced geometric analysis can transform 3D data into actionable business intelligence for manufacturers.
