Abstract:
The subject technology is related to methods and apparatus for discretization and manufacturability analysis of computer assisted design models. In one embodiment, the subject technology implements a computer-based method for the reception of an electronic file with a digital model representative of a physical object. The computer-based method determines geometric and physical attributes from a discretized version of the digital model, a cloud point version of the digital model, and symbolic functions generated through evolutionary algorithms. A set of predictive machine learning models is utilized to infer predictions related to the manufacture process of the physical object.

Claim (Index 26):
A system for predictions of manufacturing processes, comprising:\n a graphical user interface tool including computerized instructions for receiving, at a compute device, an electronic file including a digital model representative of a physical object to be manufactured; an object analysis engine including computerized instructions for generating, from the digital model, a set of features associated with the physical object corresponding to at least one of (a) a discretized version of the digital model or (b) a point cloud processing of the digital model; and a predictive engine including computerized instructions for producing at least one predictive value associated with manufacturing the physical object, based at least in part upon at least one of the set of features or information derived from the set of features, and based at least in part upon one or more neural network machine learning models; wherein at least one of the one or more neural network machine learning models trained using a set of previously manufactured physical objects; wherein the at least one predictive value corresponds to one or more of the following: predicted cost, set-up time, cycle time, a number of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) operations, requirement of a mill machine, requirement of a lathe machine, requirement of a sheet metal process, a type of blank used, or a type of fixture used; and wherein the graphical user interface tool further includes computerized instructions for providing to a user responsive information associated with manufacturing the physical object, the responsive information being based upon the at least one predictive value.
