Our @DatronCNC tooling drawer is getting a makeover today

sometimes you just want to see a STEP file without wondering if you should brew your coffee while you wait to see it that's why be built stepviewer.xyz we've been using it a lot for video interviews at @gofinalrev - send candidate link and cad file - candidate can open it up in a few seconds - they choose their mouse gestures that matches their preferred cad - built in annotation and assembly functionality as they walk through a CAD or machining problem files are parsed and rendered entirely in your browser using webassembly. we don't upload cad files, their geometry, or any derivative of them to any server. if you want, load the site then turn off internet - still works

We're hiring summer interns! If you'd like to help build the future of metal part manufacturing hit us up finalrev.com/careers

even the bots yearn for hardware

We just got our first RFQ from an openclaw agent. Things are about to get crazy

free tool alert! 🚨 drop a comment on @davidliuxyz post and we'll send the crimp tool to one lucky winner

Every second counts

putting scannable dot matrix codes (similar to QR) on all our tools for tool tracking and offline tool setting big debate on whether we should make the human-readable code right side up in the storage rack or in the machine, what do you think?

@2armsgoin3 @2armsgoin3 we've had that request before but the thing I always get hung up on is the tools would fall out of our trays. How would you get around it? Maybe slant the trays at 60º so the tools are held at an angle?

@devonkcopeland Add support for multiboard too? multiboard.io

It has never been easier to make and share tool organizers

@_arifali_ @Slant3D Hey @Slant3D any interest on collaborating on this? Who could I talk to about getting around the 100/day file upload limit?

@devonkcopeland You should let people buy these printed using @Slant3D

announcing Tooltrace Community! For a while our users have been asking to share their designs more easily on tooltrace.ai. Tooltrace Community is an awesome way to build out your toolbox You browse ready-to-print tool inserts shared by real users, download STL/3MF/STEP/DXF/SVG files instantly, and even customize any design to fit your exact setup. No tracing, no photos... just find the tool you need and hit download. You can publish your own designs in seconds. Add photos, a description, and purchasing links Your insert also get their own collectible Tooltrace Trading Card with community ratings. Try it now: tooltrace.ai/community

@amypretzel Absolutely! Tooltrace supports gridfinity mode for 3D printing and foam mode for laser cutting. Download the SVG or DXF and you're good to go 3D printing tends to be more accessible for consumers these days but for lean manufacturing setups laser cut foam is for sure better

@devonkcopeland So cool laser cutting will speed this up a lot btw like 2 layers of laser cutting foam 🔥

@JoshuaPoddoku @d4ferris 100% We need so much more open source in the CAD space. Down with the walled gardens

@devonkcopeland @d4ferris Open datasets spark real progress, would love to see more CAD sharing

We built a CAD search engine! @d4ferris and I indexed 1 million parametric CAD models using AI-generated captions and embeddings as a side project. Full write-up + open dataset: finalrev.com/blog/embedding…

@broblas @amypretzel @d4ferris From the ABC dataset: deep-geometry.github.io/abc-dataset/

@devonkcopeland @amypretzel @d4ferris 1m files from where?

@AlexanderJoh10 @d4ferris A favourite colour of @d4ferris and I

@devonkcopeland @d4ferris Why Claude orange? :-)
