Cognaize Platform
Meet Helix
Helix is the platform behind Design Intelligence and Manufacturing Intelligence. It reads your drawings — 2D and 3D — learns from every job you run, and stays deployed in your environment.

The Helix core
One core. Two products.
Everything here is built once in the platform — and Design Intelligence and Manufacturing Intelligence both inherit it.
Reads real-world drawings
2D drawings and 3D models. Scanned prints, faded photocopies, handwritten revision notes — read the way an engineer reads them, not the way a file parser does.
On Helix · Design stage
Design Intelligence
AI review of engineering drawings — issues caught before they reach the floor.
On Helix · Estimation stage
Manufacturing Intelligence
Feasibility, routing, and costing straight from the drawing — a quote in hours, not weeks.
Helix core · In depth
Semantic similarity search
Every drawing that enters Helix is remembered. When the next one arrives — as a file or a photo — the platform finds what you've already made like it.
Start from a file — or a photo
A clean CAD export, a scan, or a phone photo of the sheet: Helix reads them all the same way.
Matched by what the part is
Geometry, features, and specs — not file names. Similar parts surface with their reviews, quotes, and outcomes attached.
Equivalents, ready to source
Buying a part instead of making it? Get the related and equivalent parts from your history in seconds.
Competitive analysis from the drawing
See how a part positions on cost and manufacturability before you commit.

Beyond the platform
Close the loop with connected products
Helix carries a job from drawing review to a defensible quote. Planning, execution, tracking, and quality run in connected Cognaize products and your existing systems — and what they learn feeds back into the core, so every cycle starts higher than the last.
