bananaz
bananaz is an AI-powered design copilot built specifically for mechanical engineering that understands CAD data, company design rules, and engineering logic to automate key parts of the product development workflow and improve accuracy and efficiency. It uses AI and computer vision to validate GD&T, detect geometric changes, run tolerance and manufacturability analysis, enforce compliance with industry standards like ISO 1101:2017 and ASME Y14.5:2018, and apply custom organizational rules directly in 2D and 3D CAD environments. It streamlines design validation and change management by comparing drawing and model revisions, generating change logs and visual differences, tracking activity, and centralizing comments and annotations so teams can collaborate without scattered emails or files. bananaz integrates with existing CAD and PDM systems to provide real-time notifications, intelligent feedback, and automated reports such as inspection balloons and audit trails.
