Abstract
A system for manufacturing an engineered object comprising an estimate generator, layout drawing generator, and design generator. The estimate generator generates a cost estimate based on a request for proposal defining the engineered object. The layout drawing generator generates a layout drawing based on the request for proposal. The design generator generates, based on an order and a proposal, an object design comprising an assembly specification, a detail specification, and machine control files. The proposal is generated based on the cost estimate and the layout drawing. The order is generated based on the proposal. Manufactured components are generated based on the machine control files. Subassemblies are generated from the manufactured components and the procured components based on the detail specifications. The engineered object is generated based on the subassemblies and the assembly specifications.
