Geometric Intelligence Index 001 / For the Physical World

The geometric data warehouse for manufacturing.

CADDLE indexes every part you've ever designed and makes it searchable by shape, by physical property, or in plain English. On your hardware. At any scale. CAD-neutral. PLM-independent.

Mission

An intelligence layer over the manufactured world.

Thesis
2026

Every CAD file your company has ever produced is a record of intent — what you decided to build, why, and how. Most of it is locked in folders organized by project code, readable only by the engineer who put it there. We turn that history into a queryable layer — searchable by shape, reasoned over by AI, governed end-to-end, running entirely inside your network.

The Product Seven capabilities

Search, analyse, and action your library.

01Semantic retrieval

Search by what a part is.

Type "flat bracket with mounting holes" or click any part to surface its look-alikes. CADDLE parses geometric and physical properties together and returns ranked matches across the full library — no tags, no taxonomy, no metadata curation.

Meaning-based search
02Geometric analysis

Every hole, fillet, chamfer — counted.

Open any part and CADDLE has already inventoried its geometry: holes, pockets, grooves, spotfaces, bosses, fillets, rounds, threads. Each feature lit up on the model, queryable across the entire library.

03Reverse search

Drop in a STEP file. Find your closest existing part.

A supplier sends a quote. A new design lands on your desk. Drop the file into CADDLE and it surfaces every geometrically similar part already in your library — ranked by similarity, scored on volume and topology, in seconds.

04Library Atlas

Your entire library as a map.

A UMAP projection of every part you own. Families surface as colour continents, outliers as islands. Drag-select a region to compare; click any point to find its nearest neighbours. The whole library at a glance — the whole library at your cursor.

05Duplicate detection

Surface the parts you're paying to design twice.

Clusters where every member matches on shape (≥99.999%), scale (volume and bounding box within ±1%), and topology (matching face and edge counts). Safe to consolidate — the library scanned down to the redundant copy.

06Governed review

Pick the canonical. Retire the rest.

Every consolidation runs through a governed review board. Promote a canonical part, retire the non-canonicals, export a cluster report, route the decision for sign-off — with a full audit trail and reversal rate tracked on every action.

07Library analytics

Quantify the savings. Defend the number.

Annual savings rolled up by project. Workflow health on a 7-day window. Top expensive clusters ranked by recoverable dollars. Materials breakdown across the full library. Procurement gets the numbers, engineering gets the parts, finance gets the proof.

  Architecture The moat

Geometry never leaves your network.

CADDLE deploys inside your perimeter and indexes geometry where it already lives. Files are never copied to a vendor cloud, never sent to a third-party API, never inspected by an outside system. Embeddings stay local. Queries stay local. Logs stay local.

That single architectural choice is why CADDLE runs in environments cloud-only competitors structurally cannot enter — ITAR, export-controlled, and classified programs across aerospace, defense, and automotive engineering.

  • 01On-premise indexing over SSH. No agent to install, no data egress, no migration. Files stay where they are.
  • 02Air-gap compatible. Runs entirely within your VPC or physical network. NL queries served by a local Llama 3.1 8B — no external inference.
  • 03ITAR & export-control friendly. Geometry never crosses a customer boundary. The choice that locks out cloud competitors is what unlocks defense.
  • 04CAD- and PLM-neutral. No Teamcenter, Windchill, NX, or vendor lock-in required. Point at the file server. Done.
  Design partner program Limited spots · NDA standard

Become a CADDLE design partner. See what's hiding in your library.

We're taking on a small number of design partners. Share a sample of up to 5,000 STEP files and we'll run them through CADDLE, returning a duplicate-cluster report with estimated consolidation savings on your own parts. On-premise option available — your geometry never has to leave your network.

Vision The wider arc

Where this goes next.

01Horizon · 2026

The parts library, searchable.

The product as it exists today. Geometric search, feature inspection, duplicate detection, governed consolidation, analytics — on-premise, up to 500,000 parts.

02Horizon · 2027

Geometric should-cost.

Real-time manufacturing cost estimation from raw geometry. Strong pull from job shops and procurement. The first product that quotes from the CAD file itself.

03Horizon · 2028

The supply-chain geometry network.

A neutral platform where OEMs share approved part specs with suppliers as cryptographic geometry hashes. Share the spec, not the file. Real network effects.

04Horizon · Beyond

A geometric vector database.

The infrastructure primitive underneath all of it — a standalone database optimized for geometric embeddings and spatial queries, for the next generation of engineering AI builders.

"The parts library shouldn't be a search problem for engineers. It should be an intelligence layer the whole organisation can reason over — and the geometry should never have to leave the building for that to be true."
