Anville

Anville closes the design loop between hardware engineers and the machine shops that make their parts. Manufacturing decisions that cross company or even department boundaries often get scattered across email and PDFs, losing design intent and shop knowledge. Starting from a saved Onshape version, Anville analyzes STEP geometry, computes machining setups, and posts a manufacturing review directly in CAD. It evaluates changes to both the part and the shop, including tooling purchases and fixture clearance. Designer replies become constraints that trigger a new plan, while shop outcomes and purchased tools inform future reviews. Optional fix branches build and measure proposed CAD edits without changing the designer’s main branch.
