Every day since June 3.
SemantiCAD has been in active development since 3 June 2026. This counter shows calendar days from day one. What we ship lands in the public dev journal.
Increments at midnight Istanbul time. Not a vanity metric: calendar days.

§ 01 — OBSERVATION AND METHOD
Problem and method
OBSERVATION
Quoting still runs by hand
- 1.1 BOM is read manually on every drawing
- 1.2 Stock lives in another system; cost is guessed
- 1.3 Lead time and routing stay on paper
- 1.4 Fast customer quotes get harder; error rate climbs
METHOD
One flow: drawing to plan
- 2.1Bill of materials
BOM extracted automatically — block, table, heuristic, single-part, AI neural and STEP assembly
- 2.2Stock match
Semantic match against a 2,095-item inventory with risk signals
- 2.3Cost estimate
Material vs labour split, TRY production cost
- 2.4Lead time
Delivery estimate, critical path and revision deltas
- 2.5Production plan
Lathe, mill, weld, grind — ordered actions with machine hints
- 2.63D preview
Validate the drawing with hole select, measure and edge geometry

Dev journal
- DAY 54
Geometry truth: DXF gold and SSOT
Gold fixtures and an eval harness for parse quality. drawing_dimensions ≡ drawing_features.summary ≡ stock input.
- DAY 48
One fleet, one app URL
Organisation isolation, app.semanticad.ai and hard-fail auth decisions locked in.
- DAY 38
Stock risk, cost and export flow
Matching against 2,095 stock items, TRY cost and Excel/PDF/ERP push are maturing.
- DAY 23
STEP assemblies and 3D preview
3D assembly parse plus viewer measure/hole select — drawing validation hit the bench.
- DAY 14
Production intelligence v0.2
Cost estimate, lead time and LLM-backed operation plans wired end-to-end for the first time.
QUERY
FAQ
What does SemantiCAD do?
It helps mechanical workshops derive BOM, stock match, cost and lead time from DXF, DWG and STEP files. Output is a production plan and quote skeleton.
Do my drawings go to the cloud?
Edge-first is the default: drawings process locally or on infrastructure you control. Cloud burst is optional; drawings are not retained in permanent cloud storage.
Which file formats are supported?
DXF is primary. DWG and STEP/STP assemblies are also supported.
Where does stock data come from?
From your organisation-scoped inventory. Seed/demo uses a 2,095-item real Turkish shop inventory; in production stock CSV/ERP is yours.
Are cost and lead time guaranteed?
No. Outputs support decisions. Final engineering and commercial responsibility stays with the user. Estimates should be validated against fixtures and shop data.
Who can join the pilot?
Mechanical production shops in Turkey that can share real drawings and stock CSV, and are willing to test a few parts per week.
How long has development been running?
Since 3 June 2026. The site shows a day counter and a public dev journal.
Does it connect to ERP?
REST webhook push is supported (simulate and live modes) with a configurable auth header.
PROTOCOL — PILOT
Pilot program
We work with real shop drawings. Pilot means early access and validating the product on your parts.
