MAZIN Launches Limited Beta for "AI Drawing Breakdown" to Automate Tedious Drafting Tasks

MAZIN Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takanori Kadoya) will begin accepting limited applications for the beta version of its cloud-based tool, "AI Drawing Breakdown," designed to reduce the burden of design work in the manufacturing industry, starting July 1, 2026.

This product automatically generates JIS-compliant orthographic projection DXF data simply by uploading 3D CAD data (STEP files), dramatically improving the efficiency of the "drawing breakdown" process, which has historically consumed a vast amount of designers' time.

The product will be showcased at "Manufacturing NEXT" (Booth Number: E35-30) during the "38th Manufacturing World Tokyo" exhibition, held from July 1, 2026 (Wed) to July 3, 2026 (Fri).

HOW IT WORKS

Simply upload STEP format 3D data, and AI will analyze the 3D model and automatically perform drawing breakdown for each part.

BACKGROUND: Serious Challenges in Manufacturing Design Sites

While 3D CAD is becoming widespread in the manufacturing industry, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "2020 Monozukuri White Paper," less than 20% of companies are conducting 3D design. Only about 15% of companies provide design instructions to partner companies using 3D data; in reality, over half still use 2D drawings for instructions (Note 1).

The "drawing breakdown" (creation of part drawings) arises to bridge this "gap between 3D design and 2D manufacturing instructions." Particularly in product fields where each item is unique, such as industrial machinery and labor-saving equipment, it is necessary to create hundreds to thousands of part drawings individually per product, making drawing breakdown a burdensome process that accounts for the majority of design man-hours.

Moreover, manual drawing breakdown not only requires a significant amount of time but also carries the risk of human error, such as missing dimensions or omitting tolerance specifications due to fatigue. Such minor mistakes have been a factor in the critical deterioration of QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery), leading to processing defects, assembly impossibility, and delivery delays in subsequent processes.

PRODUCT: What is "AI Drawing Breakdown"?

"AI Drawing Breakdown" is a standalone cloud-based tool that automates tedious drafting work using AI.

Simple Operation:

Simply upload STEP files from your browser, and AI will automatically analyze them to generate JIS-compliant orthographic projection DXF files that can be downloaded in bulk. It can be used easily without being dependent on existing specific CAD software.

Overwhelming Speed:

AI replaces the part drawing creation process, which previously took tens of minutes to hours per drawing, and outputs drawing data instantaneously. Designers are freed from monotonous drafting and can allocate their time to tasks that truly require their focus.

IMPACT: The Impact of This Product

Shift to "Creative Work" for Designers

By being freed from monotonous routine work, excellent engineers can concentrate their resources on high-value conceptual design, new product development, and training junior staff.

Stabilization of QCD and Reduction of Rework

As AI automatically converts accurate 3D data to 2D drawings, it eliminates human errors such as transcription mistakes and omissions, preventing troubles in subsequent processes.

Cost Reduction and Optimization of Outsourcing Expenses

While reducing outsourcing costs and lead times for drafting, AI can be utilized internally as an "immediate-impact design assistant."

Significant cost-effectiveness can be expected for companies with many parts and long drawing breakdown times, such as FA and automation equipment manufacturers, inspection equipment manufacturers, jig and special machine manufacturers, and conveyance equipment manufacturers.

TRIAL: Experience "AI Drawing Breakdown" First

To commemorate the beta version release, we are offering 20 free drawing creation credits upon application. You can easily conduct a Proof of Concept (PoC) with your existing STEP files, so please take this opportunity to try it out.

VISION: Future Prospects

Through this product, MAZIN Inc. will present a realistic approach to solving the challenges of the deeply ingrained "2D drawing culture" in the manufacturing industry, and by supporting seamless collaboration between design and manufacturing, we will contribute to strengthening the competitiveness and improving the productivity of Japan's manufacturing industry.
