ONTOLOGY-BASED CAD/CAM MIDDLEWARE AI

Every CAD/CAM system,unified by one intelligence.

DION AI reads design intent, reasons over a manufacturing ontology, and produces verified machining strategies across nine CAD/CAM platforms — without your drawings ever leaving the floor.

01 — The problem

CAD and CAM live in silos. Your expertise pays the price.

Every vendor speaks its own language. Programmers rebuild the same strategies by hand, hard-won know-how walks out the door, and switching tools means starting over.

  • Vendor lock-in across every CAD/CAM system you run
  • Manual, repetitive programming that depends on a handful of veterans
  • Tribal knowledge that is never captured, never reused
02 — What DION means

Design · Intelligence · Ontology · Network

Four letters. One idea: liberate CAD/CAM from its silos.

D

Design

Reads native CAD, STEP and IGES, and resolves geometry into machinable features.

I

Intelligence

Proposes machining strategy learned from fifteen years of shop-floor practice.

O

Ontology

Reasons within a constrained knowledge model — deterministic, never probabilistic guesswork.

N

Network

Connects nine CAD/CAM systems into a single intelligence layer.

03 — How it works

From drawing to verified NC — on your machine.

STEP 01

Ingest, on-device

Load CAD or STEP on the shop PC. Drawings never leave your network.

STEP 02

Ontology reasoning

Feature recognition, constraint-based strategy, deterministic parameters.

STEP 03

Verified output

Human-in-the-loop approval, then post and send to the machine.

04 — Why DION

Built for the floor, not the cloud.

On-device by design

Your drawings stay inside the factory. No cloud egress, no IP leakage.

Deterministic ontology

Precise numbers from a constrained model — no hallucinated geometry.

Vendor-agnostic coverage

One intelligence layer across every major CAD/CAM system you already run.

Born on the shop floor

Founded on fifteen years of mold design and CNC machining.

05 — Proof

Validated by industry, and by the field.

See it in action.

The DION AI board — pipelines, ontology graph, simulation and agent orchestration, running on your shop floor.

Explore the product
ncsim.app

A new-concept G-code editor & backplot.

ncsim.app composes NC from containers — a block-assembly approach to G-code — with free macros and built-in backplot. Free, in the browser, nothing to install.

Container assembly

Compose programs from reusable operation blocks. Containers snap together, lathe and mill stay locked apart in one program, and verified blocks carry over to the next job.

Macros, free

Full Fanuc macro support — variables, conditionals and subprograms (#vars, M99). Edit them directly or pull verified macros from the library. No license.

Backplot & verify

Backplot every program and inspect motion — feeds, rapids, retracts — before it reaches the controller. Catch collisions on screen, not on the machine.
