Iconic CAD Workflow Specification

Purpose

Iconic CAD Automation

Scope

Method developed for Seed Eco-Home first, then for all machines.

Process Specification

• Based on explicit taxonomy of assets, published on the wiki
• Process is designed for automation with AI, leveraging library-scale development that can be distributed
• Schemas are then post-processed to wiki libraries and documentation
• Versions of schema and process are maintained via git or

Schema Outcomes

• Generation of modifications
• Library icon in svg - for part libraries on wiki, parsing SVG images for iconic CAD automation
• BOM
• Technical Drawing. For full assembly - full building plan check package
• Exploded part diagram
• Build procedure
• Costing
• 3D print file

Taxonomy

• Use module_part_version.jpg etc
  • Modules is the overall module
  • Part is the name of part
  • version is its specific identity such as size, etc. For example, a plumbing fitting can be 1/2" or 3/4" etc. Library contains all of them, and to be universal, whole library is used in any given task

Super-Schema Outcomes

• Part library generation for wiki - code for creating library, including correct part naming.
• Part library generation - image uploads

Schema Specification

• Includes source links
• Includes labor estimation based on industry standards per unit (square footage per hour, etc)
• Includes ports - how other modules and parts connect to this

Current Scope

Current scope is the Seed Eco-Home, to be applied to all machines in a distributed way.

• 1000 parts
• 1000 modules
• 1000 tools
• 1000 skills

Require 12 minutes each.
