Drill Guides: From workpiece to drill guide, faster
The Drill Guides app automates the creation of lightweight, custom, 3D print-ready drill guides for accurate and consistent hole placement on flat or curved surfaces.
Custom drill guides are widely used in industries like aviation, where accurate and repeatable hole placement is critical during assembly, maintenance, and repair workflows. Large aerospace components can contain hundreds of holes, making manual guide design slow and difficult to scale efficiently.
Automatic hole detection, CSV import, and support for industrial-standard pins and bushings help reduce manual setup work and make it easier to create production-ready guides faster.
Another step toward bringing practical design automation workflows closer to the shop floor.
Masking: Generate custom masks without the CAD bottleneck
Custom masking solutions are widely used across manufacturing processes like painting, shot peening, coating, blasting, and surface finishing, where specific areas of a part need to be protected while others remain exposed for treatment. This is especially important for sealing faces, threads, bearing seats, precision bores, and other critical surfaces.
The Masking app helps automate that workflow. Import treatment surfaces directly from a workpiece, generate custom mask bodies automatically, and use integrated locator pins and guides for accurate and repeatable positioning on the shop floor.

Break-off Labels: Add traceable labels to printed parts
Break-off labels are useful for identifying and organizing parts throughout manufacturing, assembly, inspection, and logistics workflows. Instead of applying separate stickers or manually marking components, labels can be generated directly as part of the 3D printed geometry and removed cleanly after use.
The Break-off Labels app helps automate that process by generating printable labels that attach directly to parts during production. This makes it easier to track components, add identification information, and keep parts organized throughout manufacturing workflows.
