Generating Sheet-Metal Bracket Variants Under Manufacturing Constraints
An automotive tier-1 supplier produces several hundred bracket variants a year, most of them minor adaptations of an existing design to a new mounting position.
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
- Experienced engineers spend a large share of their week on adaptations that require judgement but not creativity.
- Manufacturability problems such as bend radius and tool access are found at quoting, after the design work is done.
- Each engineer solves the same adaptation slightly differently, so the family drifts apart over time.

Intent Capture
The engineer states the change in engineering terms - mounting position, load case, material - rather than modelling it feature by feature.
Real-time operational telemetry & queue
MCP grounded vector inference
Policy constrained with audit write-back
Verified Business Outcomes
- Routine adaptation work reduced to review rather than modelling.
- Manufacturability problems caught during design instead of at quoting.
- Variant families that stay consistent as they grow.
Capabilities this relies on
- generative design
- system connectors
- root cause reasoning
- human approval
