TextCAD Product Wiki¶

Last updated: June 2026

Owner: Adeel

Purpose: Single source of truth for product thinking, research, and decisions across the TextCAD portfolio.

Daily Use¶

This wiki is organized as a small number of stable top-level sections. The sidebar is the fastest way to move between them, while each section home explains what is current versus what is more reference-oriented.

Current Work / Frequent Destinations¶

How to Use This Wiki¶

Each main section has a home page and a source trail:

_INDEX.md pages are the reader-facing entry points
_sources/ folders hold the raw source material or supporting research that pages were synthesized from
_Archive/ holds superseded snapshots and older exports that should not drive current decisions

For daily use, start from the relevant section home rather than browsing _sources/ directly.

Projects and Active Research at a Glance¶

#	Project	Status	One-line summary
01	RapidDraft	Active	AI-assisted CAD review companion for NX/Teamcenter workflows
02	RapidDraft Studio	Vision stage	AI-first engineering workflow IDE for longer-term orchestration
03	Fatigue Agent	Scoped, not started	Fatigue post-processing and reporting agent for engineering teams
04	DFM Research	Active	Rules-based and vision-assisted manufacturability intelligence
05	Autonomous CAE	Exploration	Research into pre-mesh simplification and simulation autonomy
06	Infrastructure Research	Reference	CAD SDK, labeling, and technical knowledge-base infrastructure
11	Pivot Research	Active decision support	Separate wiki surface for the Release Readiness pivot thesis and adjacent CAE notes

How the Projects Relate¶

RapidDraft Studio (long-term orchestration layer)
    builds on RapidDraft, DFM Research, and Infrastructure

RapidDraft Core (current commercial focus)
    uses DFM Research and Infrastructure directly

Fatigue Agent
    shares buyer logic with RapidDraft, but is a separate product lane

Autonomous CAE
    stays in research until the geometry and autonomy work is mature enough

Pivot Research
    tests whether RapidDraft should narrow toward Release Readiness and manufacturing handoff
    while preserving adjacent CAE workflow options

RapidDraft remains the current commercial center of gravity. DFM Research and Infrastructure feed it directly, while Studio and Autonomous CAE remain longer-horizon bets.
