A simple tool for 2D part prints

Read engineering drawings like a machinist. Not like an engineer.

Machinable is a deliberately limited shop tool for 2D part prints. It gives you a quick snapshot of the job so you can make a fast quote or no-quote decision.

Only the info that materially impacts a machining quote.

  1. What machine to use

    Lathe or mill.

  2. What stock to buy

    Material type, stock shape, stock size, and yield in parts per 12-foot bar.

  3. Number of features to cut (Coming September 2026.)

    Counts holes, slots, and pockets, and flags the tightest tolerances for estimating cycle time.

Technical approach Machinable is an orchestrator, not a model. It gets better as frontier vision-language models get better. Read the research
