Early Manufacturability Feedback on Cast Housing Designs
A pump manufacturer designs cast housings whose manufacturability problems - draft angles, wall thickness transitions, core support - surface only when the foundry quotes.
Runs onShilpaHow the work runs
The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.
Pressure & Trigger Points
- Foundry feedback arrives weeks after design freeze, when changes are expensive.
- Each foundry has slightly different constraints, and engineers cannot hold all of them in mind.
- Rework loops between design and supplier add weeks to every new housing.

Foundry Rule Encoding
Each supplier's casting constraints are encoded as a checkable rule set rather than a PDF guideline.
Input Signal:
Real-time operational telemetry & queue
Reasoning Pattern:
MCP grounded vector inference
Governance Gate:
Policy constrained with audit write-back
Verified Business Outcomes
- Manufacturability problems found during design rather than at quoting.
- Rework loops between engineering and foundry substantially reduced.
- Supplier-specific constraints applied without the engineer memorizing them.
Capabilities this relies on
- generative design
- system connectors
- root cause reasoning
- human approval
