Machinists and designers struggle with the complexity of modern GD&T and the lack of a standardized mathematical model for drafting, leading to inefficiencies, potential misinterpretations, and a disconnect between design intent and manufacturing feasibility/cost.

Existing CAD tools and AI copilots, while helpful, don't fully address the need for real-time cost estimation tied to specific supplier capabilities, robust manufacturability checks, and intelligent GD&T application that explicitly conveys design intent and considers measurement feasibility.
